All right, so I'll just short (bus) post for the rest of the week.

My proudest handiwork moment came on Sunday when I was constructing some Ikea chairs. While attempting to screw together a seat and the supporting post, I lifted the post away from the seat, tearing the screws free from the wood (no pre-made holes). This left the seat with gaping holes wider than the screws, and I was stuck with having to super glue it together, or letting it stay connected via the other two screws, and hope no one lifted too hard on the seat.
Luckily, duct tape presented a third option. I layered several strips one atop the other, then placed that over both holes. Quick and easy substitute. The screws actually screwed through, and the adhesive may actually help keep the wood together. Of course, I could have just as easily duct taped the entire contraption, but at least my ghetto-fab solution looks semi-respectable.
