my supervisor the orc

[turgon]

Not sure if this belongs here. But I was just curious if anyone else does this. Awhile back at a job I held I was being chastised by my employer for some petty thing, I don't recall what about. Prudence dictated at the time I keep my mouth shut and reply with "yes sir, no sir." Which of course I did. Anyway as he (supervisor) was vomiting his opinion to me I began to get more annoyed. So as a defense mechanism (or maybe I'm just wierd) my mind drifted to middle-earth as usual. My supervisor all the sudden became a gibbering orc dancing and spitting filth. And I was the last noldorin King complete in shining armor and bright sword. As I fell back to reality and my supervisor had vented his "opinion"
I had a gigantoid urge to shout something like "Get thee gone foul creature of Morgoth, thou knowest not to whom thou speaks."
Just wondered if anyone else does this sort of thing

While I do not picture my supervisors as such I do picture one of my co-workers a boy by the name of Dillon but he reminds me of Pippin and Merry at Isengard "The Salted pork is particularly Good" just sitting wasting time while I work away as Gandalf muttering "phh hobbits!"


I also want to pull out an Eowyn line on him "Your words are poison"(but he doesnt shut up with the whining and the talking and I just dont like him!)

So anyway all I can say is "Whining today whining yesterday and blimey if it doesnt look lke whining tomorrow"

ok a little venting there but it was on topic...sort of

On the bus to and from college (four times a day; ugh!), I tend to imagine myself as an Elf, running through a beech forest under the stars with Legolas...and beating him at the race. Ha! Take that, Mr. Watch-me-I-can-nance-about-on-top-of-the-snow!

That, and I once drove off a particularly stubborn recruiter for the Republican Party by projecting (an actor never shouts ) "Begone, foul Dwimmerlaik!" at him.

Of course they don't, it's harder on the vocal chords. Though I've heard whispering is worse.
I was at an football game (American not European) last night. The team I was cheering for was being trounced by the other team whom seemed to be a couple feet taller, not to mention faster. Suddenly I began to imagine them as trolls fighting hobbits, and let me tell you it is frightening. Perhaps that's why several of our good players were injured.

Today I was delivering "Holiday Guides" door to door for a school fundraiser. After a while I began to feel like Frodo, attemping to carry a heavy load (a paper bag full of the inserts) and dropping them of onto some scary doorsteps.

oh my goddess! Do i ever have problems like that! but, it's not with a supervisor, but with other campus fellows. I swear, it is such a mistake to bring up "globalization" and "oil factor" among people on campus... Sometimes, i see them argueing and i start to think about the council of elrond. I know, i know, really weird. Then, when my friend joe ( He's an Independant) argues with someone about the whole "bush" factor and i imagine Gandalf and Saruman. Then i just start to laugh right in the middle of the debate. And, Then they stop and give me weird looks. But, mostly my friend Megan Le Boogerbeans and I walk around in the park, I dressed looking like an elf and her Frodo... People come up and ask her about "leaf". One guy ask me for bread once.

When I go to Marching Band competitions (shh! don't tell anybody! ) I watch some of the larger bands, see them following the "Drum Major" (aka conductor) and am reminded of Saruman speaking to all the Uruk Hai from his tower at Isengard.

Don't worry you're not alone, I was a "Band Geek". Actually, i was even more of a loser because, I couldn't understand why being "musically inclined' was a geek... i think now, by looking back on it, that my philosophy was in the wrong place at the wrong time . My band teacher always reminded me of a Saruman/Butterbur mix...(I know very wierd combo but, he was demanding and loved to rant...). After being in marching and symphonic band for over five years, i now know how a "Bohemian" Uruk Hai feels...

That's interesting, I'm not quite sure what mine reminds me of:
-Easily frustrated, especially when people talk in class
-Likes to make a funny look when conducting
-Sweats when he conducts
-Usually very serious with a strange sense of humor

Though when I'm bored in that class, I try to imagine different scenes from LOTR that cordinate with the different songs. Right now we're doing "Holiday" music, so not much pops into my head, too many Santa's elves instead of ones from Rivendell.

[THE Ka]

Exactly!!! Right on the target! You deserve a special treat:

i can't help it...


~Enigma Ka~

P.S.: Eh, i know how you feel... Holiday music was always too easy for me and very boring plus, i only thought about legolas when it came to elves. (I'm not a very big fan...) When i was little (try 8 yrs.) After i read the hobbit, i always saw Gandalf as santa. I don't really have a clue to tell you why...

[Morai]

Now that I've thought about it, I'm thinking of a cross between Gollum (the funny looks and "interperation" of the music while conducting) and Biblo (easily flutstered.) Yikes, maybe I need a different band director.

[the guy who be short]

I have two people who reminds me of LotR characters, but neither are evil. Well, one is... sort of.

The first is a small red-haired round chld who attends my school in one of the lower years. Everybody calls him the Ompa-Loompa, except yours truly - I KNOW he's a hobbit!

The second is slightly... stranger. There is often a man on my bus who looks like Bilbo... but evil. Weird, I know, but true. I call him "Bilbao" (an Italian City) because he's obviously a perferted from of Bilbo, as is the city...
