| The light from hell |
| 09.15.04 (2:09 pm) [edit] |

Well, just the shades... Over my dining table hangs a new light. It should have looked like 5 different coloured (red, white, blue, yellow, and green) milk bottles strung down from the ceiling. But only 4 hang. Why?? Because my dad broke the blue one! But why didn't we bring it back in hopes of getting it exchanged? Because it was too much hassle. Timeline... 1. Bought the light and checked it over in the store. 2. Took out the light from the box. Red paint came off the red bottle. 3. Brought the red one back for a new one. Had to wait a few days for stock to be moved to the store. 4. Connected the 5 dangly wires for the shades to the top plate. 5. Took out the light from the box. 6. Dad hit the red light with a screw, and put a hole through it. Decided to take the light down. (good thing, too because the milk bottles were supposed to be put on first before connecting to the top) 7. Made Dad exchange it for me. (After all, HE broke it). 8. I successfully connect everything together, leaving the bubble wrap on the shades (just in case, for waiting Dad to come hook up the wires for me. 9. Dad is hanging it up. Hits the blue one against the ladder. Shade is in pieces. We just kind of looked at each other...The "not again" look. Instead of risking more damage, we just decided to leave them at 4 bottles. Gah! |

It sounds like that fixture just wasnt meant to be perfect. Still, it sounds like a drag

Ha, yeah, that's some bad karma. Shame that it had to be the blue one...

Yet the drag continues...My dad called me last night and told me he got a replacement for me! What a guy!

Turns out I have a blue one coming in...Now let's just hope none of the other break in the process. I no longer have any of the bubble wrap!
