So, the desk story.

Back on Sept 4, I ordered a desk from the office depot site. Next day, I get an email saying that the desk I wanted is out of stock and discontinued. Annoying. So that same day, we go into the office depot to look and see what desks they had in stock, to see if there was another one I liked. I pointed out the above desk, and was all "I'll take this one!"

So they guy brings out two boxes, desk and hutch. We pay, we cram them in the trunk of the car, and we drop them off at home and go out to dinner (it was Chaosie's and my 11th anniversary). Later that night, we go to put the desk together, taking the pieces out of the box, and then realize that they gave us the wrong desk. It was the correct hutch, but the wrong damn desk.

Sunday, we bring it back, ask to do the exchange. Bad news, the desk I want is out of stock. But they'll order it and have it delivered to my house for free on that coming thursday. Ok, let's do that. The exchange takes like an hour, because they had to refund the entire order, and refund it to a gift card because the money from the first "out of stock" order I placed still had a hold on the card.

Thursday comes. no desk. Friday, no desk. Monday, still no desk. Finally on Tues I look at the paper they gave me at the store to find the phone number to whine at them. Notice the phone number and address they have listed for me is not at all mine. In fact, the address was in fucking Boca Raton, FL and I'm in Deltona. I check the tracking on the site, see that it was delivered the day it was supposed to be, to that wrong address.

CAN'T HEADDESK WITHOUT A DESK

Shini and I drive to the Office Peepot. I ask for a manager, and describe my problem. The guy reorders the desk for me, gets my correct address, and says it will arrive at my house on Friday. Hooray! It does!

We put it together on Sat, and it took like six or seven hours. Gaze upon its majesty.
