Building Furniture Just Plain Sucks Moose…

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been the last day or so, it’s been building my new work desk, filing cabinet and hutch for my home office. Remind me never to buy furniture that hasn’t already been assembled. It took me from 9 a.m - 10 p.m yesterday to get everything built. I only screwed up twice while following the instructions and I’m pretty confident it was a printed error.

For example, the first step of the file cabinet instructions were to place the rollers for the drawers on the inside of the cabinet. Step 12, had me trying to build a drawer on those same rollers which was virtually impossible.

As it says in my Twitter, I hate the name “Bush” even more than I did then! Once I get everything put back in place, I’ll take a picture for you, but this is what I ultimately bought on company dime.
