I got a queen sized bed recently.
It was in pieces, you know the head board and the side things and the end thing with a few scews.
Yeah you can totally tell I have no idea of what the fuck I'm talking about, but just act like I do.
I had to put my new bed together alone and sans tools.
It looked so simple.
Sitting there looking all easy.
Easy enough for my tiny brain to figure out.
4 big pieces, some screws, really, how hard can it be?
Sheeeeiiit.
After trying unsuccessfully to fit the screw with the small washers into the holes about four times I gave up.
To be completely honest I don't know what side the washers were supposed to go on anyway.
Arms thrown up in the air, fist flying in circles around me, making noises that I am ashamed of making. Like a broken half-horse half-human, snorting through my nose. It was awful.
Fuck this shit!
Heavy ass side pieces.
No screwdriver!
COME ON!!!!!
I gave up.
Until almost an hour later, I realized that I have little baby muscles. I could totally do it.
I sat on my dusty floor once more and took one look at my arms as I flexed.
That was all I needed to get the job done.
I know. Weird.
Look at these arms baby! I got this shit! Let's do it.
By god my muscles are tiny, but that is besides the point.
The point of this was.....
Wait, what was the point?
Shit.
I forgot.
OHH, OHH I know, the bed!
So I got the bed screwed together.
Even though afterwards I was sweating into my tank top and into my ass crack, huffing and puffing, hair all messed up sticking to my back.
I am Rox the motherfucking champ!!
As I stood back to admire my handiwork I might have done this.
Not might, I did do that.
I totally deserve a drink for that one.
No help from anyone. I am almost like a grownup.
Now when I get the mattress on it I can only hope that shit does not fall underneath me.
That would be a shame, I would just blame the people who put my bed together, if anyone asks.
Is it an Ikea bed? Ben put ours together, but it took him four hours. I fell asleep on the floor while he was piecing it together. Why do they always make them so difficult to build?!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't Ikea, it was a Craigslist bed. 4 hours? Wow, that makes me feel so much better ;)
ReplyDeleteIt makes me sad that craigslist never took off over here...
