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

Mithalwen · 06-16-2008, 01:29 PM

I assign seeing one of my best lecturers from University (Prof. Sue Harper) being on a television programme

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00c144x

but not speaking!!!

This woman is brilliant and funny but she was just there with a glass in her hand
.. I can assume that she outshone the presenters.

I assign Facebook, that lovely crazy site that my parents don't know that I roam...

I assign not being able to find a summer job. Normally it'd be assigned straight to Mordor, but it is kind of nice not having to be anywhere or do anything. Though at the same time, I REALLY need the money. Desperately. Plus after over a month of not being the slightest bit productive, my existence is starting to feel rather pathetic.

Oh, I'll assign that to the Shire.

Brinn - I second you absolutely. So true.

But I can't...not when I owe my parents $2,000 for my England adventures (apparently traveling can get expensive

). It's nice being lazy (especially since the job market is not exactly great right now), but I really do have to get a job for survival (and it doesn't help when your family reminds you everyday that you need to make a better effort...then your credit card bill shows up). Anyways, I've found that having a job is really not that bad (and even sometimes enjoyable) as long as it's a job you like. Once I do get a job, I'm sure I'll be assigning it to Orthanc...
