Office Torture

[tiggymalvern]

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.

Ugh - two of the WORST things: getting windows replaced, and looking behind stuff you haven't looked behind in a loooooong time.

I remember when they moved my fridge away from the wall in one of my Tampa apartments - there were DOZENS of twist ties under it. Apparently it was the goal for many, many games of cat-hockey.

We had to move the fridge a few years ago when the ice maker decided to flood the kitchen. It produced nothing like the horrors of The Wiring!
