Think the whole of amru land is made up of just that...
Pieces, pieces and more pieces. I think by the time I leave I would have my brains full of assembly instructions for all arbit things- table, rack, more tables, more racks, sofas, utensils, bed, matress, pillow, covers, toilet seats, tissue papers...i guess you got the general idea.
I recently got a Huge lego set as a Gift (no I just teeny weeny Forced my hubby)..which has 2400 peices for assembling.Now I regret the decision- after having bought a TV stand which has equal number of pieces with elaborate assembly instructions.
Now you would ask me why am I sitting here blogging when I have a sexy new, newest (latest in the stores we were told) HDTV 37"? Why? Silly, the table hasn't been assembled yet...
..becasue unlike Lego pieces these ones weight about 20 kgs each.... I love India- I love Indian carpenters.I am gonna cook food for them everytime they come and do assembly work at home. (Thinking about that, how great it would be if we could outsource carpentry to India!hmmmm...)
Now comes a better one- the reason why TV prices have been going down I have been told is because the manufacturers are cutting down on labour intensive activities like "calibrating the TV set" which for "only$250 more we could do for you:---Are you out of your mind? Thats ow much a TV in India costs me...so well interestingly this is all that calibrating a TV does for me as a customer and for everyone bothered about the enviornment -http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/print?id=1765771&type=story
But yeah, we cheapos didn't get ours calibrated or castrated or whatever else nonsense they do for the purpose of cost cutting (the articles doesnt mention its a cost cutting intiative, but the Best Buy guy did). So well, we evil guys down here will watch our Blaringly bright TV without shame- that is once the TV table is assembled.
