reddragdivaOne example of my being slow on the uptake is that I have only just remembered that Ikea is actually Swedish for "cult of Cthulhu-worshipping psychotic bastards who live to torture the suburban husbands of the world." It took three hours to assemble the bed. Only three major stages were physically impossible without further tools, the cherry on the cowcake being that if you didn't do the stage at page 16 between pages 11 and 12, you actually had to lift the bed off the floor to put in the screws in question. It claimed some blood too. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. Then the curtain fell down on me.
It's lovely now, though. Unfortunately, I'll need to take it to the high mattress setting some time over the weekend. JESUS GOATFUCKING CTHULHU.
On a happier note, the Denby crockery arrived today. Niiice.
I've made my bed and I'm going to lie in it.

Date: 2004-12-07 01:52 am (UTC)Coincidentally, the process is quite similar to the learning experience tat provoked the previous post: having to set up a freshly-installed Solaris 9/iPlanet web server with highest priority (that means "we needed it last week") that fits in with the way everything else here works. Except that with that one, I have to write the instructions too.

You will be assimilated, in bland but perfectly reasonable taste.

Date: 2004-12-07 03:30 am (UTC)I went round twice because some of it was going to my car and some of it was being delivered, so I got my stuff first and stashed in it in my car, then went back for the delivery stuff.

Date: 2004-12-07 05:58 am (UTC)Good job I left my toolkit with you then, wasn't it?
It claimed some blood too.
*sigh* What have you done to yourself this time?
Unfortunately, I'll need to take it to the high mattress setting some time over the weekend.
Assuming I'm not in some nice padded cell somewhere, I presume help will be appreciated?

Date: 2004-12-07 06:11 am (UTC)Mechanical work I can deal with. It's simple, logical, manual work I can handle just fine. Just don't expect me to think overmuch. And for god's sake keep me away from that bloody TV....

Date: 2004-12-07 06:00 am (UTC)Dave, the Delivery Manager, was going to call me about 4pm about the delivery charge refund, wasn't he?
Why he couldn't just leave a message and number on my voicemail I don't know.

Date: 2004-12-09 05:23 am (UTC)Probably why you're a BoFH and not a Mechanical Engineer[1] ;)
If its any consolation, I'm sick to death of allen keys.
[1]Mind you, as the stuff that comes from IKEA is probably manufactured in Taiwan, I think most Mechanical Engineers would have a similar issue. ;) But that's just me (and I could be wrong... oh so very wrong)
