It was confusing as hell, cause some of the screws didnt work with my screw driver, and I know there are different types of screw drivers like a flat one and a round one. After hours and hours I somehow figured you were supposed to use the metal stick in there to stick in the screw and twist it around instead of using a screw driver... WTF

Anyways, my bf was too lazy to assemble some furniture I got, he was already complaininga bout carrying it, he didn't even want to carry it, so I was stuck doing it myself.

And I did a DAMN FINE job too! I feel so smart and proud of myself!

I kinda like assembling stuff, its like a test to see if you can follow directions and if you have good puzzle solving skills, especially with ikea stuff that comes with half assed instructions, their stick figures!
I've got to say that it does feel rewarding to do it. I typically assemble furniture, but the blinds were my first real adventure with power tools. I'm usually the one bringing the beer and cleaning up while my boyfriend does everything mechanical - simply because he's very capable in that regard. The blinds were frustrating, but I felt really good once I was done.
