The twenty first century will be best known as the era of furniture assembly. Over the past two years I have earned my doctorate! Tonight I built a chair. It came from Staples. The separate pieces were packed in a box to take up the minimum amount of space.
Stuff like this used to intimidate me. No more. I’ve overcome my fears. I follow the instructions scrupulously.
This was among the best kits I’ve ever assembled. The instructions were totally done in drawings and quite clear. The hardware was parceled out in little plastic pouches numbered to coordinate with the instructions.
I attached the screws as firmly as I could.
In about twenty minutes the parts had become a chair.
How the hell did I flunk shop?
