It's the table, stupid
What's wrong with it? All day I worked on putting something ONTO the table just right. Not just one something, it was several somethings. Then, with half the day spent, I noticed it. The TABLE wasn't right...why didn't I see that when I got started? Or at any time between then and later (when it was too late to undo what was already done)?
Because it was the table, stupid. No one ever looks at the actual table before putting things on it. Is it too high? Too low? Not level?
Three hours later, with a table worthy of a robot wars competition completely disassembled (it wouldn't fit in my car as a whole table), I had to go back to work to give over these proto-table parts to someone who specializes in table design (obviously! since it was this same person who had given me a custom built, incorrectly sized one to begin with) and have them make the table three inches shorter.
Somewhere, there is some minor demon laughing its ass off. I'm sure of it.
