IKEA late in the evening
November 29, 2005It smelled of stale cinnamon rolls and sweat, but I had to return a lamp whose pull chain fell out. The returns clerk broke herself up asking if I had pulled too hard.
I approach lamps from across the room, usually with a full body tackle.* Funny she should ask.
*a phrase borrowed from my sons, who use it in regard to job interviewers. (We’re a strange group.)
