Some assembly required
Jan. 24th, 2004 09:37 pmSo what do you get when you put one MBA, one Ph.D. student, and one brand new, unassembled Ikea bookcase in the same room? Proof that the skills needed for a successful academic experience are completely unrelated to the skills needed to put together a simple bookcase. Yes, folks, it was another Arts & Crafts night here at the J2 residence, and we actually managed to mess up an Ikea bookcase. We contemplated fixing it for a while, but that would have involved fiddling with nails, dowling, and screws, and that just seemed like too much work. After all, it still looks like a bookcase...more or less. I'm not going to post what's wrong with it here, because there are about six people reading this who have a decent chance of visiting me at some point and I want to see if you notice on your own. But do feel free to have a good chuckle at my expense. Just don't laugh too much, or I might invite you to come fix it. ;)
