I went shopping with my partner for a lamp. On the positive side, when store employees get chatty, my partner handles the smalltalk. On the negative side, I knew what I wanted the lamp to do; my partner had vague feelings about how they wanted the lamp to make them feel. We did not find a lamp that instilled the right feelings.

It was not a total loss, I bought a lamp for my work desk so I can see better for writing and soldering. And I got some poffertjes from a street vendor.
