first time doing something is always a mess. i was removing the stupid factory plastic wrapping on one of the light fittings in my apartment that nobody had tried to remove, because both of them had ugly half torn off product information labels still on them.

the first one i wound up messing up the three part layer of glitzy paper underneath the metal frame with the retarded scratch-protection plastic wrapper layer, and then eventually in the wind one evening the paper flaps off and gets half burned on the bulb.

the other one is perfect, and i cleaned it up in like 1/10th of the time.
