    A desk sounds like exactly the type of thing that would just eventually get put together because I was bored one Tuesday. It might take a few months, but it would eventually happen

      Desk, chair and bookcase would sit in boxes for weeks until one night I put them all together at 0300 cause I can’t sleep

        And then your wife comes in and wonders what caused you to fix everything and whether maybe we’re having guests over.

    I’ve had wall mounts for my TVs, new in box, through three different houses. Finally mounted one of the two two weeks above when we moved into the third house. Who knows if the other one will ever happen

    Or a vampire with Social Anxiety.

    Imagine being alive for 600 years and you still think about and cringe at that time 456 years ago when you accidentally bit someone in the shoulder instead of the neck.

    Well it’s standing up, you can use it. It’s just the drawers aren’t in yet and all the hardware is in a bag “somewhere” in here.

    Funny story, I bought a desk a few years ago when I got a new job, and I literally spent weeks not putting it together, and then when I finally did put it together, it was an all night affair. Should have taken me at .out an hour to put it together.

        I was thinking more like a few folks go to each other’s house and finish up some things but accountability chat would be great too.
