What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

McCaber · 12-16-2007, 11:55 AM

2 finals within 20 minutes of each other on a Monday morning. Definitely not healthy.

Airlines that lose your suitcase.
Looks like I´ll be spending Christmas in my mum´s dressing gown...

Even more Mordorish, airlines that after two days still have NO idea where your suitcase can be, and the fact that going away at Christmas for a fortnight inevitably involves having packed most of one´s most treasured and expensive clothes. Eg my beautiful Ghost collection, carefully amassed over years of careful saving and sales-shopping....probably lost forever into the Cracks of Doom that is Heathrow baggage handling.

*sob* This is the worst Christmas ever.

To Mordor can go staying healthy every day at work for four years running, only to catch cold during Christmas break. Ugh.

Lalwendë · 12-24-2007, 12:10 PM

That usually happens to me so you have my sympathy

Make the most of the festive overload of satsumas, sprouts and parsnips, oh and nuts too - my top tip for colds is in fact peanuts

I send to Mordor not having enough room in my house for all the guests, food and presents. We are doing shifts on space on the settees so the little one does not have to spend all his time in his baby seat!

Oh agreed lmp, half our house is ill!

Maybe you should do that earlier than the night before your paper is due!

Getting a D+ in your Social Studies class because you went on a stupid vacation and you have things due that never show up to the teacher, which also happens to be the director for the plays and musicals in your school and you are in them both!

Getting a nasty bout of flu over Christmas and starting Christmas day with a trip to Casualty rather than early service....(not for the flu but siblings post-operative infection).

Waiting. Probably I should add impatience for good measure, since that's really what's getting to me.

Folwren · 01-06-2008, 03:45 PM

Headaches that won't go away.

Oddwen · 01-31-2008, 10:03 PM

I assign the JERKS who (accidentally?) donated a used syringe to my thrift store - yeah, thanks a lot, one of my co-workers now has to deal with those tests on top of moving to another state. Plus, I hear that it's the third time that a used needle has been found at the GWs in this state - we're all sleeping better in our beds now, thanks a whole lot.

My co-worker should have been more careful yes, but who expects a hypodermic needle in an aquarium?

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 02-08-2008, 11:38 PM

The nassty document that failed to print that my mom wants like right now...

I'm going to eat our printer!!!!!!!!!

Stomach bugs on New Year's Eve. I HATE New Year's Eve, it's actually worse than Easter and everyone knows how interminably dull I find that; NYE has the added problem that you cannot just ignore it without resorting to copious amounts of alcohol. So this morning my stomach decides to wake me by making me be sick all over myself and I have eaten nothing more than ruddy dry toast.

One could simply go to bed, wot?

I am not a great NYE person because I am usually ill (becasue I am usually on holiday and the bugs I have staved off because I have been too busy to be ill finally catch up with me) and nothing happens near enough to walk to or interesting enough to drive and stay sober for. So I either make a point of going to bedbefore 12 (about the one night in the year! ) or stay on the sofa and sip champagne/ cocktails. I do like Easter - less pressure, nicer food, less financially crippling and friends can take priority over family. And it is the start of my favourite time of the year.

At least you got your Ghost back - I am still grieving for the Ghost frock my sister shredded by putting it in the washing machine at 1200 revs - and wondering if I could possibly repair it ... only bally time she has lifted a finger while staying and she decides to trash my best frock ..
