So I got sick of looking at my tv stand on it's side (I didn't realize it when I moved it in) so I decided to flip it upright.

In the process of flipping it up, the power strip got caught on the lip, which was underneath my guitar stand. Being top heavy my guitar stand flipped forward onto the glass table top.

So my guitar flips down, rips off the chunk of glass overhanging the legs of the table and breaks the high e string.

Fucking damnit. Now I have to go get it restrung, and the table is junk. This house fucking sucks. the outlets directly behind the entertainment center don't work for whatever reason so I have to use the power strip. If I'd just moved it like I was going to, I could play my guitar now. But I can't.

Chain reactions suck.

But I guess the good news is I can get a tuner for the guitar after I get it restrung. I wanted to get one yesterday while we were at guitar center but I forgot to ask where they are.

Maybe this will be a chance to reconfigure where you put things in every room now??

But, yeah, I hate chain reactions....I try to laugh, but sometimes I don't need the extra clean-up and frustration. :D

I have the strings free of the tuners. (attachment 1)

So I'm trying to push it down the hole out the back. (attachment 2)

But they won't budge and the string just bends inside the hole.

and for the hell of it, one shot of it on the stand (attachment 3)

It's not that I'm doing anything wrong, they just won't push. So now what?

I got em! Guitar is tuned even. :D

Took it into the office today and asked my dad if he had anything that would be able to push he knots out the back.

He had some small long eyeglass screwdrivers. They worked well in pushing them out.

It's restrung! That was a painful 2 day ordeal for me. :(
