Plotting Laziness
There is very little that I dislike more than maintenance.
Before you start thinking that sounds like a weird thing coming from an engineer, keep in mind that I design things, not keep them up.
Maintenance includes cleaning, mowing, raking, and general fix-it stuff. Oh, if something breaks I often enjoy fixing it, but not if it just wears out from use. Don't ask me to clarify that; I'm not sure I can.
Essentially, I don't like doing tasks that I've already done, or that will just have to be done again. Hence, I like cooking (even if it's a dish I've made before) but I dislike washing the dishes. Not that I don't; I just dislike it.
But there's not much in the world I hate doing more than mowing the lucking fawn.
So the task that my wife and I have set for ourselves is to get someone to plant us a low-maintenance lawn. Sure, we'll still have to shovel a walk and rake leaves (tasks we try to share), but if we do this right I'll never have to mow again.
Anyone wanna buy a lawnmower? I have two, and I can never get either of them to start. |
