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

Mice.

Specifically dead mice.

Or maybe more specifically, the mouse that the cat caught, killed, and left in an unspecified place. So now I have to wander around and hope not to come across it unexpectedly somewhere like my bed or under my foot or something.

Oh, I know that feeling. A couple of months ago, I was rooting around in the dark recesses of our basement, looking for some box of Christmas stuff, and my foot came down on something... squishy. And smelly. It was a mouse in a trap (since our cat died several years ago), and there are few experiences I've had that were more gross. Ewwwwh....

Playing the last song going into the closing hour and turning on the overnight automation to hear...the same song. Gah!

Not being physically able to stop crying, work at a computer, or indeed move my right arm when due on the air in ten minutes.

Snow on the first day of March.

I enjoy snow in November, December, January, February...but not March. March is a time for the weather to warm up, not cool down. Two days ago it was almost 60F, and now Boston is in the middle of a snowstorm expecting up to 15 inches.

And to think I leave for Spring Break in less than a week. Where is the spring part of my break?

We got snow here also: a bit further south than you are. Here it was a cause for fun, but then again, we don't often see it.

The broadband we've had for a year or so, whose speed is now worse than dial-up. It used to be top of the line, I just don't know what happened. I even thought it was malware and reformatted, but to no avail. Customer care is not helping... and because of the two-year contract we can't get rid of it, unless we want to pay the high fine.

I assign the two vile specimens of 'motherhood' who were drunk and shrieking at ear splitting volume about drunken exploits with blokes on the bus tonight and ignoring the two toddler girls with them despite the mites sitting there pleading "mamma" and turning to me for attention instead of their designer-clad mothers. Then one of these 'mothers' had the gall to give me a mouthful of abuse for glaring at her.

This is after spending part of the day at work reading about an investigation into child abuse and neglect cases.
