Operation IKEA

There was a considerable amount of excitement in the office today. Not only was it Friday but the interns at Just Landed received a special task. We had to put together three IKEA desks in half an hour. The desks – by the way – were called ‘Jerker’ proving that the Swedes do not always get it right. I was made chief constructer of this operation on the basis that my father is an engineer and that I played with Lego up until the age of 13 years (that is 1 year more than advised by the Lego Company).

I used my newly obtained power to show Just Landed what I was capable of. Tammo, my German mate, was also relieved with this task. He remarked that it was the first time that he actually had to use his brain during his internship! All tongue in cheek of course although it was rather amusing seeing him sweat over a couple of screws!!
