The Desks of Doom

Today we purchased new desks, but little should we know that these would turn to the Desks of Doom.
It all started this morning when we were going to IKEA at Slependen to look for the Mikael, the name IKEA gave the desk series. Anniken had left for work, and I was gazing through the rooms to find this. When I finally found these, I noted the location of the desk itself, and with it's build-on I had to ask those working there. I found a nice guy and asked him, but of course they were sold out, and I had to go to the other IKEA store on the other side of the city.
I drove there, and found the desk. It seemed fair enough, and I drove home. When I got home and had compiled together the first desk, I figured that we'd never fit both desks in the way we planned, so I halted the building until Anniken arrived at home. We then built the second desk to see how they were looking, and after measurements upon measurements we figured that we would never be able to sit next to eachothers. The tables were 1.40 meters in length each, and the wall we wanted to place them by was 2.90 meters long. It'd work wonders if it hadn't been for a 0.15 meter wide oven that was totally misplaced. It was 1.35 meters in length and we couldn't fit it in either way possible.
After spending half an hour trying to fit the tables, we called my aunt's and asked them if they had a good saw. We then went and sawed 25% off one of the tables' feet, so we could fit it over the misplaced oven. Luckily, it worked fine, and now we've gotten rid of the curse that haunted the Desks of Doom. May we be able to keep the curse lifted in all the unforseen future.
