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

Heat.

Particularly the second week of real summer heat you've had ALL summer, the same week that you moved into a one-storey retirement home (aka. greenhouse). Compounded by having conferences in a room JUST big enough to hold 33 guys, with all 33 guys present, and then sitting there... occasionally thrusting extra heat into the place by all standing and singing.

Also lack of showers.

Especially with said HEAT, 4 showers between 33 guys does not quite cut it. Okay, we're technically up to 6 showers now that the bathtubs have been given shower curtains, but--really!-- those guys working on the additional six showers in the basement could speed things up any time.

And speaking of putting in additions...

I'll be a much happier camper once the Internet wireless actually reaches my room. Not having Internet in the comfortable confines of my computer, near my books where I needn't feel guilty of hogging time would make a wonderful difference. You can tell I'm younger than I let on, because I get twitchier when I don't have Internet than when I don't have showers.

So... to recap:

I assign to Mordor: too much heat, too few showers, too little Internet.
