Life Verbatim

Sometimes

Dumb Walmart bookshelves get the best of you….well, tonight it was me.  I got a $16 bookshelf and tried to put it together after a long day.  Long story short…I put it together with the top and bottom pieces swapped.  (Enter roommates who sees and laughs.) I take it apart and bruise both hands beating it til it became separate pieces.  Roommate leaves and I bring out other tools to help me muscle this monster of a shelf into submission.  Frustration and weariness from a long weekend are most definitely ruling my emotional state.  I figure it out and put it together to see that it is still wrong.  I need to turn over the top and bottom pieces now that they are in the correct places but not oriented correctly yet.  Crap.  This shelf is not made to be taken apart and put together.  I am not putting this off til tomorrow.  There is no way.  Put on an oven mitt to ease the pain when beating the shelves apart…..for the second time.  Finally, I get it all right and it is together and up.  Only the stained sides showing and no longer leaning.  Humble pie tastes like crooked shelves.
