Dust, dust everywhere....

[fajrdrako]

Yesterday I attacked and conquered the kitchen.

Today, it's the bedroom.

You know what you don't ever want to do when cleaning? You vacuum the bedroom. You try to the vacuum through that narrow space between the bed and the bookcase on the other side of the bed, and you accidentally knock the little cup that holds the dust askew. In the brief milliseconds before you can find the off switch the room is full of swirling dust and all the work you've done is for naught.

It adds a whole new perspective to the ancient question: should you dust before you vacuum, or vacuum before you dust?

Gad, what a mess. But -- damn the dust-devils, full speed ahead! Neither rain nor sun nor gloom of black-out nor cloud of dust shall sway this warrior from her chosen course of action. Clean, I say, clean! And be noble in the achievement!

Yes, I believe there was a stela found in Thebes containing this quandary written in Middle Kingdom heiroglyphs.

(Sorry, that was the rum talking!)

...sorry, I messed up the italics command, didn't I? And didn't see it. Well, the meaning's there.

Don't worry about it. I mess up italics commands all the time - easy to do.

That's right! Nothing shall stop this shieldmaiden from her duty! The bedrom and the kitchen look terrific. The bathroom and the living room look like chaos, but in anothe few hours they will look terrific to.

Now, where's that rum?
