    A desk sounds like exactly the type of thing that would just eventually get put together because I was bored one Tuesday. It might take a few months, but it would eventually happen

        And then your wife comes in and wonders what caused you to fix everything and whether maybe we’re having guests over.

    I’ve had wall mounts for my TVs, new in box, through three different houses. Finally mounted one of the two two weeks above when we moved into the third house. Who knows if the other one will ever happen

    Or a vampire with Social Anxiety.

    Imagine being alive for 600 years and you still think about and cringe at that time 456 years ago when you accidentally bit someone in the shoulder instead of the neck.

    Well it’s standing up, you can use it. It’s just the drawers aren’t in yet and all the hardware is in a bag “somewhere” in here.

    Funny story, I bought a desk a few years ago when I got a new job, and I literally spent weeks not putting it together, and then when I finally did put it together, it was an all night affair. Should have taken me at .out an hour to put it together.

    This reminds me of the shelves that I bought about 10 years ago and still haven’t put up.

    that’s completely false

    what the heck are you going to be doing at 2AM before the most important test of the year which takes place at 1 hour drive building at 7AM?
