My Almost-daily Journal |
|
| About I love trying out new things, especially when it comes to internet technology. I never really kept a journal, but it's something that I've always wanted to do. Now, everybody will get a chance to look inside my twisted, and somewhat-warped mind.
I've also subscribed to Audio Blog, so a few times a week, I'll leave actual voice blogs. Very cool!XML Newsfeed Previous Posts

Disclaimer My animosity about Josh's problem being a tidy, clean person is directed toward Josh the Roommate, not Josh my Friend. Roommate Contributions Total time I spent cleaning, organizing, tidying: 20 hrs Total time Josh spent cleaning, organizing, tidying: 0.5 hrs Total cost of cleaning supplies that I bought: $80.00 Total cost of cleaning supplies that Josh bought: $0.00 Total time I spent on my hands and knees cleaning: 2 hrs Total time Josh spent on his hands and knees cleaning: 0 hrs Total time Josh has ever been on his hands and knees cleaning: 0 hrs Total time Josh has spent cleaning in six years: 2 hrs House Cleanliness and Josh I toiled for 3.5 hours prior to the arrival of the potential home buyers making last-minute preparations for the home viewing. I spent half that time completely cleaning the kitchen floor first with ammonia, then with Mr. Clean, and finally with Mop & Glo. The Mop & Glo added a slight sheen that makes the floor look marvelous. When Vanessa got to my house and quickly walked through it she stated, "Wow, dude. Your house looks awesome! It smells so clean!" That was nice to hear from Vanessa because she is a clean freak and has often made comments on the piss-poor upkeep of my home. It's a no-win situation living with a roommate that feels the only thing he has to contribute is wiping his own ass. Try living with Josh. It's easy to clean up after yourself, but to clean up after a two-year old "pig-pen" is difficult. He's going to have a really rough time when he's out on his own. He's either going to have to pay a maid service to come in and clean up after him, or he's going to have to buy a Geisha girl from foreignwivesforsale.com. A Nun Could Eat Off the Floor... Until Josh Got Home The floors were so clean, a nun could eat off of them. That's the truth. The house really has never, ever been this clean. I was actually quite proud. I was also anticipating that Josh would appreciate my efforts and try to pick up after himself. Yeah, right! This morning when I was getting ready to leave for work, I was walking around bare-foot, which has been pretty rare living in the "house of skank". I couldn't believe it! I was stepping on globs of dried up mud and gravel! Can you believe it!?!?!? I spent so much time and energy cleaning the f'ing floor! Josh just waltzed into the house, tracking in mud, dirt and crud into the kitchen. He didn't even take the time to clean it up!! But then again, why would he? Dirt, mud, crap, and disorder are invisible to Josh. So this morning, before leaving for work, I swept up the mud and dirt and left it in a pile in the middle of the kitchen. I wonder if he's going to notice it? The sad thing is he probably won't, or he'll think that I tracked in the mud. What I should have done is swept it up and put it in his bed. If that happened, though, he'd try to be a hero and try something a little physical. He's 0-30 in our childhood brawls and wrestling matches. He'd be 0-31 after this. More Disorder You think it ends there? No way. The spare bedroom has been a holding pen for his shit. He has two bags of clothes that have been sitting in there for almost a year. How hard is it to call the Salvation Army or just drive there to drop the bags off? He also bought a down comforter a few years ago and feels he can just throw it into any room and just leave it there. The spare bedroom was 100% free of disorder for the home viewing. After I woke up this morning, I wanted to check out the spare bedroom as it should look all the time. Guess what? The unused down comforter was back again, sitting in a heap on top of the bed. I wonder how much longer it will take for the rest of his junk to end up there, as well as all over the house? I bet it will just be a few days, since disorder, cleanliness and dirt are invisible to him. I can't wait to sell the house and move. I'm a clean person. I despise disorder.
