Don't be silly! No one is allowed to disagree with The Phantom! "You shall rue the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you" and all that.

I know what I assign today...a fight with my best friend over nothing. We were talking about the difference between the 'popularity' of a book and 'actual talent', and I gave the examples of Twilight and Harry Potter as popular books. Of course, she already knows I respect the HP series, but this time she kept insisting that I was deliberately trying to insult it, which I was not, and I said so.
She actually walked away in a huff O.O after saying that Lord of the Rings is as bad as Twilight...
Christ...

I assign my credit card, which is (1) but an extension of my dad's and (2) not even useful when ordering stuff at Amazon. What else might be the purpose of my job then?

The film project I got casually involved with a few months ago and which I'm trying to find a way to exit from gracefully, as the script gets worse with each draft and it becomes more and more apparent that the "professional screenwriter" responsible for it is actually a.) inept, b.) not, in fact, professional, and c.) loony.

The woman's sheer nerve and determination I might assign to Orthanc, if I didn't happen to think it more the result of a prolonged manic episode than anything else.

This thing is going to crash and burn so badly... I mean, it may be the worst screenplay I've ever read, and that's saying something.
