Office Torture

Today we had men come and fit new windows in the computer room. This meant I had to move my desk so they could get to the window.
AAAARRRGGGHH!!!!
Looking behind the desk is very bad. But less bad now, because having to disconnect everything left me with no excuse not to deal with the collection of dust and cat hair nesting in the wires back there. There was some positive to not having my computer all day, I suppose.
Then of course when I plugged everything back in and switched the computer back on, it threw a conniption. I had to soothe its shattered nerves by unplugging all the USBs once more and letting it deal with them one at a time.
Also, the men brought the wrong window latches. I found them attaching bright gold ones to the new windows instead of the rather more subtle ones we had selected. So they have to come back another time and change them. At least they've agreed they won't have to move the desk for that.
