Vacuuming WHILE playing poker
by Swami54 on 09/30/07
So why the title of this post? I was actually vacuuming while playing poker the other day. First of all let me just say that I am a lazy ass and hate to do stupid chores when I would love to be doing something else. I think we work way too damn much as a society. Most people work a standard 9 to 5 (most times more) with an average commute time in a large city of around 30 min. You get home, unwind a bit, and then have to make yourself some dinner. By that time it's around 7:00-7:30 and you have about 2-3 hours to yourself. I'm a teacher so on many nights I'm grading papers while watching random television. On the weekends a variety of stuff usually has to get done: grocery shopping, cleaning, laundry, etc. Throw kids in the mix (which I don't have) and you have no time to do the things you want to. Due to all this nonsense I try to eliminate as much of this crap out of my life as possible. I bought a townhouse so that I wouldn't have to mow the lawn or shovel any snow. I try to keep my meal preparation at 20 min or less. I even bought some shakes this summer with all the essential vitamins and other nutrients for those times when I don't feel like making a damn thing and need something quick. So I found one of the greatest inventions I’ve ever used…the ROOMBA. The Roomba is a robotic vacuum cleaner. You charge that bad boy up and hit clean and it takes over and it does a damn good job. Some MIT students developed it based on some mine sweeping program and it runs a pattern to clean the entire floor. When it’s done it returns to the charging station by itself for later use...yeah that’s right…it charges itself, amazing! This is a bachelor’s dream. It’s very satisfying to be making money while you’re getting chores done.
The robot’s name is Tony…after Tony Danza from Who’s the Boss? My girlfriend dropped some dirt from a plant the other day and I said “Tony will get that” She said “Who the hell is Tony?” Damn I love that thing.
