Indonesian Cohesion

These are the bases of bedposts for an antique Indonesian canopy bed,” I told my foreman. “I’m going to have a LOCAL GLASS BLOWER create inserts for me so it looks like a candle is burning behind a semi-opaque hurricane.”

“So these need electricity?” my foreman asked.

Aside from the growing pains and frustration of constantly having to do things they’ve never done before, I quickly noticed that what really slowed progress down is any time my workers were forced to collaborate with other teams.

I told him, “See? I’m not just UNITING VARIOUS STYLES FROM AROUND THE WORLD, I’m uniting different teams on this very construction site!”

“Great. So these Indonesian bedposts are lights?”

“They are the bases of bedposts,” I corrected, “but yes, they are ultimately meant to light up.”

“Wonderful. If they’re light fixtures, then they are entirely the electrical team’s problem now.”
