I'm about to scream and start throwing stuff...

Ikea bookcase...Super easy, put it together in a flash.

The glass doors...The single most incomprehensible thing I've ever encountered. It took 2-3 people to figure out how the fuck you attach the doors to the bookcase (NOT the way the directions say, unless you each have 3 arms), and I don't have a functional phillips head screwdriver in my apartment, and my vision is bad, and it's a complete nightmare.

I am now alone, sent Sniffa to bed, and have one door left to attach, hundreds of books piled everywhere, and I haven't eaten a bite all day.

I'm hungry, cranky, and about to cry. Kill me now. I'll be up until 5 am, at this rate.

1. if one's marriage stays intact whilst putting IKEA furniture together

you are meant to be . . .

(speaking as someone who has been there, done that, and did make it to the other side intact, but it was touch-and-go for awhile)

2. I sent him to bed b/c he has to get up at 5:30

It's just as well. I'm so pissed off and cranky, nobody should be working with me right now.

8. That's funny. I've said for years that the Church ought to ditch the pre-Cana classes, and...

..instead have a couple assemble either Billy bookcases from Ikea or darn near anything from Sauder.

3. Leave the doors off, eat, go to bed.

Let your sub conscience work on it while you sleep. It'll be a jif tomorrow.

4. No, I figured it out, it's just the lighting and f'd up screwdriver

I have to finish it, b/c once I let the cats out of the spare room, all hell will break loose. Series.

6. What's a "sub conscience"?

;)

That's what you get for correcting me just because I got your age wrong. :P

7. Blame DU's spellcheck.

11. This sounded like the best advice to me!

5. I have never put anything together from Ikea that's been easy.

And the worst part is, I've never BOUGHT anything from Ikea. Other people buy the damn things and then call me up and ask me to help put them together!

Good luck. Hope the parts are all there.

:crazy:
