What do you assign to Mordor?

...That is astonishingly canonical.

Indeed:

"Hard and cruel and bitter was the land that met his gaze. Before his feet the highest ridge of the Ephel Dúath fell steeply in great cliffs... across a wide lake of darkness dotted by tiny fire, there was a great burning glow... nowhere in that accursed realm could he see the least sign of a shower or a computer terminal..."

I have to assign being such a stupid and lazy person that I'm faced with three horrible Swedish writing assignments to do, deadline tomorrow, and I'm awfully tired to start with. And, with matriculation exams coming up and all, I really really didn't need this additional bit of stress.

Coughing so hard it triggers your gag reflex. Something spilled in the oven last night. The house filled up with smoke. My lungs filled up with smoke. My body really doesn't like smoke.

Losing really big time on collegiate basketball. Our university team just landed on a 3 win, 11 loss situation this year; last year, 2-12; the year before that, 0-14. The last time my school won the championship was 1986.

But if we were living in Europe, we'd be rejoicing. We are the defending champion in football. The academically best university in the Philippines should be relocated to Europe, or at least a football-loving country.

Finding out that in a month, your husband may be out of a job because his firm (for which he has worked for 31 years) has decided to outsource his department, and will only have four jobs for seven people. Seniority will not count, and if he isn't one of the four, he'll have to spend the month of October training the people to whom he's losing his job, and then will have to go out and start over, trying to find a job in bad economic times at the age of 55. This REALLY stinks, especially since I can't work outside the home because of injuries and poor health.

For whatever it's worth, Ibrin, you have my full and heartfelt sympathy! A firm that treats its employees like that after profiting from their work for 31 years deserves to be assigned to Mordor, it's the only fitting place for them.
I've got a bit of first-hand experience of what it means to look for a job once you're middle age or past, especially if you would like to go on working in the profession you were trained in and are good at - decades of experience and know-how somehow don't seem to count very much in today's economy (another thing that deserves being assigned to Mordor).
Miracles do happen sometimes, but they tend to take time you don't really have. So I hope your hubby will end up among the chosen four and no miracle will be necessary. All the best, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you two!
