ooh ... that's an idea ... thanks - I even checked some stores that you'd think would have assembled furniture, but even they have a lot of "direct ship" and "assembly required" things
Thanks!
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

As someone who recently has been assembling furniture, I do not recommend it.
In other news, the kitchen spider is dead. Its reign of terror is over.

shrift, congratulations on the end of the reign of terror ... could you specify as to whether you're not-recommending Task Rabbit or assembling furniture (the latter I know, having suffered through trying to assemble two things from Bed Bath and Beyond ... NEVER AGAIN)

Thrive to spite them
Work has changed their masks policy for employees. When we are on the clock we have to masks on. Previously it was just when the store was open. People can get an accommodation with a statement signed by Dr and that will allow them to wear a face shield only.
Also we absolutely cannot shop on the clock or hold merchandise for ourselves or buy things except when on our lunch break and on our days off and between 6-6:20 pm of we are clocked out.
Which is basically following store policy but people are losing their minds over this. But we are losing sales to employees holding stuff and pool are wandering off and ppl are checking out at multiple different registers after close but before they do their closing duties so managers have been staying late and they are sick of it.
But the way ppl complain you think someone had told them we can't buy anything ever again.

Sorry for not being clear. I am not recommending assembling furniture, so I'm just agreeing that the decision you've already made is a good one.

Our wings are not tired.
but Jeff Sessions got his ass handed to him in Alabama, and I take some satisfaction from that.
Indeed. The first senator to endorse Trump. Why people stay loyal to him is a mystery.

I think the theory is to get something - public recognition, an entry for their resume, some grift - and then get out and cash in. Not working so well for Jefferson Beauregard Sessions at this point, but others may have done better (Bolton?).

Sessions made the mistake of having one (1) molecule of professional pride, which he used to recuse himself in a way that discommoded Trump. Others have shown themselves to be less burdened.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Worked from home, such as that was. Back to the lab tomorrow.
