#20Resolutions for 2020 - Resolution Number Seventeen

Tweet

I bought a fairly nice assemble-it-yourself leather office chair from a store whose name rhymes with Schnoffus Schneepo, and I skipped the "have us assemble it for you" because that cost extra, and I am an old hand at putting stuff together. And I am cheap; let's keep it real. And yet. Not only was it a major pain in the butt to put together, it's not really made very well (I'm going to blame the chair and not my assembly skills), and a bolt or two worked loose through normal use, causing the chair's back to come loose on one side. I couldn't find the missing bolt, so I folded the chair in order to keep from straining the side that was still attached. There it sat, becoming a kind of low table of sorts, catching various items while I had to use my much less comfortable cloth task chair, a hand-me-down from office renovations at my company. Just a couple of weeks ago, I finally found the missing bolt (I hope there's only one missing; haven't checked), so now I can clear the random things off the chair, put it back together, and use it...at least until it falls apart again.
