Ya think it's so nice when you get a new pc desk... get everything set up nicely... got your pc in one of those nice little hidey holes... everything's lookin good till ya get a new piece of hardware or something goes wrong and you need to switch something around and then you're just screwed.
My new printer has recently decided it doesn't like being plugged into my usb hub. I could have plugged it into one of the usb ports at the front of my pc but i didn't want all these cables stickin out the front so i hubbed one of the ports at the back.
My G*d goin back there and figurin out what cable goes to what usb thingy is a flippin nitemare in itself... but when tryin to run new cables behind the desk you need to be a contortionist. I hate this job... so while i was at it i ran the speaker wire back there i'd been meaning to fix up as well.
Ya get back there and ya start tuggin on cables... nothin moves... there may as well be a 6 ton brick sittin on them all... probably means some adapter is sittin on the cable or 15 cables have twisted themselves around each other.
You give it another tug in the hopes you'll see some piece of equipment move giving you some clue as to what cable you got in your hand. This sounding familiar to anyone?
Thank G*d something eventually moves. You can't believe how lucky you are... you start pulling out cables and then contorting yourself on the floor... you blindly throw the cable behind the desk in the hopes it will land where you want it to.
Hopefully you're able to get up off the floor to go see if you can find the cable you tossed... if not you're back on the floor repeating the procedure... once you find the cable and connect you briefly think of trying to sort out the mess of cables in front of you but quickly dismiss that idea as being completely idiotic and impossible and stuff your pc back into the little hole pushing the whole mess of cables back in behind it out of sight and out of mind.
Thank G*d i'm done with that for now. I'm not even thinking about attempting the internet cable running in front of my desk and the kids desk that needs putting behind both desks.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
