Worst job around the house.....here's mine

BING BING BING BING - we have a winner

People who don't live in snowy climes have no idea what hell is until they have shovel 2000 square feet of deep, heavy snow at 7 a.m. just so you can drive to work

 

We had 94 inches of snow last winter. After shoveling the driveway approximately 1 billion times, I'm lobbying for a snowblower this year.

 

If it's powder snow, shovelling a driveway is actually therapeutic---kinda like weeding a garden.

It's not too strenuous, it's completely mindless and you can just drift away in your thoughts.

 

Indeed. When I worked at my old shop, I never had to worry about that much snow on Deadline Day (thank God!). In other jobs, if it snowed that much, I didn't have to go to work because the places where I worked were closed.

 

Until your shovel hits a frozen tire tread and the handle jams into your midsection

there aint nothing therapeutic about shoveling snow

 

Or the plow comes through your neighborhood and you have to dig out the driveway that you just shoveled.

 

Wuss.

 

TIG welding
I love the MIG welding. Hate the TIG welding.

 

More often than not, after a trip to the laundromat, I'm too lazy to take my folded clothes out of the car, so I just leave them there and run outside and grab whatever I need whenever I need to change.

 

Do you keep your groceries in your car as well?

 

No, they would spoil.

 

Things I hate:

1) Making the bed (I'm only going to sleep in it 12 hours from now anyway! Plus, I can simply close the door. Besides, who the hell, other than me and my wife, is going in my bedroom)

2) Dishes by hand (I'm 6'7" and I hate bending over at the sink. Plus, it just takes so long)

3) Folding clean clothes (I don't fold anything, except my boxers in half; and only my socks go in a drawer. Everything is on hangers - jeans, dress pants, shirts, undershirts, everything - and everything except socks is in the closet).

4) Mowing the lawn (It's not big enough for a riding mower. And yeah, yeah, I'm trying to "do my part" and own an electric plug-in mower. I fight with the friggin' cord more often than I cut the lawn).

EDIT: I totally forgot. My wife and I ripped our every shrub, flower and bush in the yard as soon as spring hit. She's allergic to bee stings and we both hate yard work. We have only trees and grass in our fenced-in yard. I love it.
