I’m having trouble concentrating on work (I have conference proceedings to write a draft for, as well as the usual PhD stuff, whatever that’s meant to be at the moment), so I thought I’d reorganise my study. I’ve been unhappy with the lack of storage space for some time now, and I looked at a cabinet on the Internet that had two filing drawers and two normal drawers in it a while ago, but didn’t buy it. I dithered. Then I decided the other day that I would buy it, but of course it was out of stock then. I said I’d like an email when they get more in stock.

In the meanwhile, I looked elsewhere, but couldn’t find one with the same combination of drawers. I got frustrated. I looked back at the original website, only to find the cabinet in stock again. I wondered where my email was, because it certainly wasn’t in my inbox! Still, I proceeded to order it anyway, while it was still there. It will take them up to 14 days to deliver it, and they have to phone me up in order to arrange it, because it’s a large item and will take two men to deliver it. What a palaver.

In the meantime, I have a half-reorganised study, which looks fine if you don’t look over there.

Tell the world about this!
