Is Anyone Here Good At Putting Together Office Furniture?

09-14-2004, 09:55 AM

Honestly I hate putting together stuff, it takes me soooooooo fucking long!

Staples just dropped off my new home office stuff. Desk, chair and book shelf unit and fuck me if I'm going to put it together. I got a kid from the store to come out after work and put it together for $15 an hour.

How about you guys, are you mechanically inclined or are you a dumbass like myself that has no patience?

DH

P.S. If anyone is good at putting together basketball nets and hockey nets please come over and put that shit together for me too! LOL! I have beer here for you!!

Too bad you're so far away... I'm GREAT at that stuff!

SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

My previous career was in building so I got no problem with it. I can throw an entertainment center together in about 30 minutes right out of the box. My car on the other hand is another story. I can't hardly put gas in it without losing nuts and bolts.

I don't have the patience to put together all the office furnture.
It took me close to 6 hours just to put together this desk I'm at now.

Its kinda fun putting that shit together, the problem I have is over tightening screws and understanding the retarded ass instructions so I usually end up with the piece assembled but with some holes here or there that shouldnt be there.

But I dont stress it, I think it adds character

Take Luck!

Hehe I did that last time, but it took 2 of them damn near all day to put it together. Hence lost productivity and lost revenues.

This kid from the store has come out a few times and is pretty good. The only problem is that he is a Jahova's Witness so we have to keep the porn talk on the low down while he is around. LOL!

I'm mechanically declined...changing the wiper blades on the van is my biggest mechanical achievement...

putting things together is hit or miss, depending upon the position of the moon and alignment of the planets.....but usually ends with me throwing tools, swearing a lot and causing my wife to quietly whisper to the kids "come on kids, let's leave daddy alone and go to the park before he accidently hits himself in the forehead with a hammer again during a tizzy fit"

I have done it myself and it sucks. Where I worked my boss had the guy from the store come and do it after it took us hours to do. He had a walkman on (this was a while ago) and a electric screwdriver, he was done in 30 minutes.

My son kicks ASS on putting together anything. It's that engineer mind of his. I have things I save and wait for him to come home and put together for me - I'm useless

Im a chick and I can put that stuff together. Even though half the time the instructions are in either german or some other lanauge. Good luck getting it together...but if you just sit down with it for a few minutes - take a deep breath - you can get through it! PROMISE!
