Finding out you work with a man named Bilbo at the local casino.

Clearly he needs to be assigned to the Shire because that's where he's from!

Getting home safely after having to go out in fresh snow and not having to go anywhere else. Unless I want to go and play and take pictures. Though I couldn't believe the school was closed. When I was there they never decided to close before we had to leave. Though we listened to local radio in hope. And my mother wouldn't drive in snow so we had to well only too find most of the teachers hadn't got in and we would sit in the assembly hall for an hour or so them they would admit defeat and let us go home.

Definitely. He works in maintenance right now and so far it's looking like Moria down there so we need to give the poor fellow our condolences.

It just really improved my entire day when I found out it wasn't some joke. His wife looks more like Goldberry, so wherever Bombadil is, he's lost out obviously...

I assign getting a job. There's a frozen yoghurt place down the street from where I live. They were hiring and I sent in a resume. One of my friends is the manager of the shop, so she put in a good word for me with the owner. I got hired without even having to do an interview! I am going to save up some money to travel, and then I am going to go places! Literally.

Finnish call center operators. I don't understand how comes somebody, especially working in that area, can be so cheerful and helpful and nice and all that to the extent that when you end a call which you made in order to solve an annoying problem, you feel absolutely "charged with positive energy", so to say. Yay!
