Post-IKEA

[fredericks]

Work = horrible. It's been a theme lately, as we're short-staffed with people going vacation and all that patient-endangering jazz. In an attempt to boost my spirits the mom unit and I went to Ikea. At the moment I'm sort of Ikea'd out. Pretentious names of items aside, it's a fun place to visit. Tons of families were out and about when we went. And I finally got around to purchasing most of the furniture I wanted (the corner desk set I wanted was unavailable). The delivery folks are supposed to bring it by sometime Tuesday; the only things I took home were the very comfy swivel chair and the desk lamp. I figured since I have the furniture I might as well get around to pulling up the carpet and repainting the room. I'll post pictures occasionally as I work through the project. Knowing my pace and recent lack of energy it'll prolly take me two or three weeks to do everything, but meh. I'll see if I can get rid of the carpet, tidy a bit, and pick up all my paint supplies today.

What's the standard tipping procedure for delivery folk anyway?

I loooove Ikea. And I find the pretentious names are half the fun. I always gleefully referring to new shelving units by their Swedish Chef-like names for a week or two after I get them home.

*grin* I like calling out the names in a loud semi-obnoxious voice while IN the store. To my company, of course. And the cafeteria can't be beat.
