the other day
two workmen appeared
schlepping a long rectangular box
in it was
tack board
(i asked for cork board)
they are installing
it
between the top of my desk
(really a long wood shelf)
first
they must move the shelves up
4 inches
because
'they are too low'
the tack board
is
a
'standard'
24 includes tall/high
the space
between
counter top and shelves
is
20 inches
i know this because
it was measured
not
once
not
twice
but
three times
well
they said
the shelves were installed at the wrong height
well
i said
the shelves were up
when the space below them was measured
here's what we can do
they said
we can take the tack board to the shop and cut it to fit
or
we can raise the shelves up 4 inches now
I opted
for
raising the shelves
it seemed
to be
the easiest way to go
its another of the stupid interior architectural designs of this office
thank goodness
the interior architects
weren't
involved
in
view!
