Fourth trip to Ikea in six days. The bloom is definitely off that Lillie, but it has made for nice viewing of the evening sunsets as a reward.Hopefully, there is nothing else I need from that purveyor on 'some assembly required' where the instructions have NO WORDS just little drawings that intimate 'if you have a problem, do not return the item to the store'. Whatever. I must admit, however, that (generally speaking) the staff is courteous (not helpful, but they don't help you in a courteous manner). You are basically cast out into a polished concrete maze (I have the place memorized now) and if you miss a directional arrow, you are screwed. I have been there enough though, that I know where many of the secret 'short-cuts' are, and I have figured out how to identify the aforementioned short-cuts on their little maps. One more word of advice; if you see something you like, you had damn sure write down the item number and the aisle and bin number where you can NOT receive any help (see above) loading it onto your little cart (that will not stay in one place) without developing a tear or strain that requires medical attention.
They do not help you because they do not want any witnesses to your injuries.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...
Nice day overall and we were plenty busy moving desks and creating new work spaces and 'downsizing' our conference room. It will all be fine once the dust is again on the agents desks. Carrie took great pains in making sure everything was clean and sanitary. It will be very nice, and it will certainly be a better use of the space we need. Life is good.
Deeds, Actions, Changes, SHINY CONCRETE, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
