I assembled a barbecue (not from IKEA) a few years back and I swore and cussed for 2 days of intermittent attempts. Finally I got it right but never again.<br />hchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13799594181016858701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895317279933688791.post-21934768336089000842015-01-18T15:44:19.385-08:002015-01-18T15:44:19.385-08:00Harry - I think it is good to do an IKEA assembly ...Harry - I think it is good to do an IKEA assembly once in a while if you have time. It requires a kind of intelligence a little different from the more literal kind which is required in academia. With the wordless instructions it is rather like an old fashioned IQ test. While not really difficult it is nonetheless easy to make mistakes and have to disassemble much of what you have already done. This is where the cussing and profanity arises.<br /><br />A Billy bookshelf is pretty straightforward. Try doing something which can be configured in various ways (I remember a particular pig of an L-shaped desk and a trundle bed). Then after you have exhausted your entire lexicon of profanity google "Fuck IKEA" and see how many hits you get.
