jaeclecticI spent several hours this afternoon furniture shopping, with some success: bought a nice (smaller) dining room table with solid chairs (paid about what I expected) and also a shelf unit for the TV, which is exactly the size I was looking for (paid much more than I hoped, so I sure hope it looks right in place).
OTOH, I am still thoroughly frustrated in my attempt to find right size table for the kitchen. However, I have a couple of ideas. The Room & Board site has separate table legs and tops, and I *might* be able to combine counter-height legs with a smaller table-top, even though that combination isn't offered -- need to visit the store or call during business hours to make sure. If that doesn't work, I could always buy one of the wall-mounted tables at IKEA -- not exactly what I want, but since they only cost 20 or 30 dollars, it could fill in while I keep looking.
But now it's 6-something in the evening, and I have other errands and chores tomorrow, so I need to stop thinking about it, and maybe do some laundry instead. I am already certain I don't have enough time tomorrow for everything that needs to happen. Bah.
Other than today's furniture shopping: it's been a muddled moody kind of week. Mood swings at work and home. Not really sure why. Certain petty incidents stand out, but why they bothered me is the mystery: e.g., this one developer keeps harping incessantly (not to my face, all in emails and bugzilla comments) about how "UE changed their mind" and caused rework -- which is sort of true, I made a recommendation, then somebody corrected me who had more information, and I apologetically retracted my original recommendation based on the new data. Anyway, it just makes my stomach hurt, I have this sense of acid venom being aimed my way. I'm sure glad *he* never makes any mistakes. Et cetera.
Last night I had a long involved dream in which I found several kittens on my patio and felt compelled to adopt them. At various points in the dream, they turned into babies, and then back into kittens. Hmm.
Oh, and I got a raise. A very small petty raise (less than 2%), but better than nothing.
