That I can agree with! I came across Torchwood awhile ago and now I try to watch it as much as I can (which isn't much, I never have time for the tele, but still...).
I had a similar conflict with Torchwood being on at the same time as a documentary on Serbia's Balkan brass festival in Guca, I couldn't decide which one to record but I ended up recording Guca because I doubted it would ever be shown again and I could not miss Boban Markovic.

I assign to Mordor having to handle people who have trouble distinguishing between power lust and a simple request, and I being too polite to them.

... Which puts them on edge and then they make things even more difficult.
All I needed was a transcript, not your soul, or job...

Sometimes I wonder if age really has anything to do with maturity, or admitting that you're having a bad day.

Also what can go to Mordor is the random bout of rain after two weeks of lovely clear skies and sun. Then again, I guess I ask for it when I live in a "rainbelt"...

Having a nastry flu virus incubate in your body for nearly two weeks, then deciding to set up camp and throw a party in your stomach, nose, joints, and head on your workday...

I hate being ill, not only is it boring, but you always have an avalanche of work to do afterwards. Plus, finals are coming up.
Grrr!

Being sore ... again ... I am not a fan of back basing.

Doing too many courses at the same time, leading to a situation where your days at school are long and tiresome (I don't mean boring - it's interesting really, it's just tiring) enough to make you think you have "earned" an evening of lazing around or else are just too plain tired to do anything, which leads to never doing your homework which leads to the days being more tiresome since it's harder to catch up if you haven't worked in the evening at all...

Bah.

I should have done something like a million things today but ended up doing only one.

Meaning more work tomorrow, meaning more work the day after tomorrow, meaning eventually more work for the weekend, which is in practise more work left undone, which ends up as more work for the exam week.

And no, I'm not stressed.

Ugh. Seconded. This just happened to me this weekend. It almost knocked me out in the middle of my last class on Friday, so none of my weekend plans could happen, and I didn't get any work done at all. I'm going to have to ask for extensions on some of my assignments, now. *sigh*

Chemical burns. Because you can't do a whole lot about them except pretend like they don't hurt and try not to let your coat sleeve rub your skin even rawer.

The fact that love is blind - when it concerns one of your oldest friends and a git of high order (control freak with no social skills) .... aieeeeeeeee ..it is like watching an accident unfurl and not being able to do anything about it because noone listens do they? So then the fact that love is blind, deaf and causes insanity...
