Rain. I don't mind it so much in summer when it's warm, or if I know there's a nice warm bath waiting for me when I get home, but when you get soaked knowing you're going to be damp the rest of the day it's just nasty.

Eye

I like the look of this thread.



To mordor and the flames of Amon Amarth I assign;

Most of the people I've met in my life

Messing up my practicing

Realizing the day before my lesson that despite working all week that I don’t seem to have accomplished anything

My net connection cutting out when I’m try to watch funny vids

And grapes with seeds in them.

Exams... a biased measurement of an arbitrary level of knowledge that ultimately yields unfair results.

Waking up at 9 for an exam that won't happen until 2 due to a slight brain error in reading my timetable.

good enough for a double post--

Nasty spiteful people who are actively TRYING to get me in trouble at work for almost no good reason at all.

You'd think that getting me reprimanded once (yep, deserved it that time) would be enough, but to continue it! What did I ever do to them?!?

Doing paperwork. Being behind on paperwork. Doing paperwork while everyone else is having fun. Realising there is so much paperwork that you will have to spend tomorrow on it, as well.

We have...the most horrible vaccuum in the world...

The hose setup is ridiculous. I'll vaccuum a whole huge room, to find out the hose had come disconnected and I have to do it over again. There is no suction worth mentioning at all, so I can never tell if the hose is disconnected, or if it's going full-force.

I just carried it down two stairs, and so help me it dumped a load of rocks all over the floor.

*weeps*

Having to be a bridesmaid for a family-friend and the colour of the dress is a hideous bright pink that looks fine on her pale sister but awful on my olive complexion. And the material is shiny and sticks to your skin and makes my gluteus maximus(which I unfortunatley inherit from my mothers side...) look HUGE...

That'll be all...

Good effort. Problem is, the nature of bureaucracy is to create Mordor wherever it is, so I'm afraid it always does work, just not how we want it to.

Due to a circumstances too tedious to relate I have been without a functioning washing machine since Sept - so I have been using the laundrette which isn't a bit deal other than it results in having more damp washing than I have capacity to dry inside or with tiny tumble dryer .. so I decided to use the dryers at the laundrette for th big important stuff...

Of course some moron had to leave (Why????) a biro in the tumble dryer I put my work tops in...not the one with dark towels in.... I loved spending the evening making not entirely successful experiments with various stain removers and handwashing....

Alas, the lot of many a young bridesmaid is to wear an excess of satin (a fabric that should have been banished to Mordor already) all in the noble cause of making the bride look better. One day, should you so wish, you will get to have your revenge by dressing your own bridesmaids in peuce sateen...

I'm assigning ITV which I dearly hope goes out of business soon as its programming is becoming truly sickening. Tonight we have had soap 'stars' (they are possibly 'stars' in Scunthorpe but that's it) 'singing' and pretending to be Shania Twain (I imagine Shania will be laughing her socks off), and Reality Begging. So at last, as the LCD TV set becomes a staple in homes across the nation, so does the LCD TV show (LCD meaning Lowest Common Denominator).

I assign to Mordor:

The bus ticket machine next to Marble Arch tube station that ate my last £4.

The train on the Jubilee line that had me in fear of my life with it's abnormal level of noise and turbulence.

The coffee machine in Belsize Park hostel that either gives you half a cup of coffee, or causes the coffee to overflow.

Airplane seats. Not the one I sit in, but the one in front of it!

Haha, a good idea. Though friends tend to want that I do something else than hang in the net.

Or maybe I could tell my mum: "If you won't get us a net access, I'll move to my father's place and it will be you who I'll be visiting on weekends."

Cold that chills you to the bone and does not go away, even when you get home.

I also assign more precisely windchills of -30 degrees and below (curiously enough, -30 C is almost -30 F... I won't bother with the exact conversion). Up to -20 to -25 it's ok... cold, but when the mercury closes in to -30 degrees it's when things start to get ugly

I assign walking around the house with one sock on.

I can stand walking around with one shoe on, because I know there's going to be a difference in my stride and the height of that foot, but with a sock there's just no warning.

I'll walk across a tile floor, and the foot with the sock will be warm, but then the bare foot will be cold, and then I step onto a rough carpet and one foot stays the same, and the other feels every bump.

And stairs are the worst. I find myself stopping and trying to remember which foot goes next.

Yes, I'm blonde, what of it?

Coughing, especially in public.

And Panther-sweets that taste good but have an effect of increasing the coughing.

Vectors

I assign vectors in all their ways, shapes and forms.

I assign position vectors, unit vectors, direction vectors, and whatever the difference between them is.

I assign how the modulus only matters sometimes. Seemingly at random.

I assign vector products. I assign scalar products.

Children.
They always seem to have jam on their hands. Even when there isn't any jam in the house, they get jam on their hands. I just can't deal with jam hands.

So I actually ban 'Jam-hands' to Mordor...

This is another self inflicted injury...

so I don't expect sympathy...

I assign still not having filed my tax return, and worse still not having ordered a comprehensive calculation guide even though I have remembered all the trouble I had last year...

And the fact that I put myself through this misery when if I had got my act together and written in the (literally)half dozen necessary entries by Sept. they would have done the calc for me...and saved me trawling through 50 pages to confirm the easy assumption that it will be the same percentages as last year, and the year before that...

And the knowleged that it is even more unforgivable in the light of how I earn my living...

So basically I assign myself ...but I think someone already did....

You might be assigning yourself again if you don't get it in well before the deadline of 31st January as it looks like there is going to be a nationwide, service wide strike that day, too.

Meanwhile on a similar note I assign people you work with (so not your good self ) who have no conception of the importance of time and deadlines as they have wasted my whole day. I may as well have stayed in bed.

I WILL get it in ..too poor and too mean to risk a fine and besides it is a surefire way of getting the revenue to be interested in your fiscal affairs for the rest of your days.. even so I am a bit prone to be sending it guaranteed next day delivery.... it is only cos I am scared of getting it wrong .. I have to say all the Revenue bods I have dealt with in recent years have been super helpful and friendly ..pity I was traumatised by earlier dealings.......

Oh I love deadlines ..that whooooooooooooooshing noise as they go rushing by is delightful... Actually it is a life time failing ...I wouldn't say I work best under pressure ... more don't work unless under pressure ..all my uni essays were handed in by the skin of my teeth and my dsisertation was completed on 3 weeks of 2-3 hrs sleep a night fuelled by rocket fuel coffee and (legal) herbal tranquilisers .... I really don't recommend it to anyone...it took 3 weeks before I stopped twitching ( even allowing for various other crises which you will have to get me hogwhimperingly drunk at Oxenmoot to find out about ).

Well really it is Sauron and his orcs and trolls, but I other things were to be put in it would have to be, ummmm, cheaters at anything sports you name it.
oh, and people who always come up to you and they always think that you know who they are even if you don't have a clue as to who they are.
I hope you got that.
