I'm sitting at it right now. It has a quirky little extra pully out thing that I wasn't aware it had until post-assembly.
Well... speaking of assembly. . . . I almost died today. My father almost killed me. We were after assembling the chair that we bought to go with the desk...it worked out fairly simple. I thought I was going to be a pro-DIY-er . . . .Boy was I wrong.
We got to work on the desk. It had about fifty pieces in total (again....over exaggerated). All pretty much identical, not specified or labelled in anyway (
So then we carried on. When we were nearly starting to see that it was a desk, like it was taking its shape. We then realised that we had assembled all of the legs wrong (I was the one to point this out also). So we sat on the ground and looked hopelessly at the various bits of white wood all around the room and this half-finished masterpiece in the middle of it all.
So then my dad turns to me and says:
"My leg's at me, I'm just gonna go in and lie down for a few minutes. You go on down and I'll give you a shout when I'm up"
So that suited me pretty fine, I was kinda tired and could do with a break. So I dander on downstairs. Turn on the TV, grab a glass of OJ. And so I'm sitting there, listening out for him to call me and then I hear something fall from my room. The bastard hadn't went for a lie down. He lied to me. He just didn't want my help anymore. My heart broke a little inside. I wasn't that hopeless......possibly more of a liability than an asset, I'll admit but still, it hurt.
I waited a few minutes and then went up to help him again. We eventually got it finished. Probably because I made myself keep my mouth shut for the rest of it......
It was a learning experience alright. I learned that I have no future in DIY and realised that I have to study for my LC and do well or I will be fucked. It's the LC or nothing for me......
