ME-nial Labour

One of the disadvantages of being unemployed (or rather, not gainfully employed on a semi-stable basis) is that the wife assumes that you have all the time in the world while you're at home to "do stuff". Like today, 40% of the living room junk got cleared by moi -- about 7 trash bags worth of 'relics' collected over the last 3 years (which is about the last time we did any major clearing up of our things).

The wife and I are both pack rats (not to be mistaken for packrat) so we tend to have stuff lying around. I found, among other things, the receipt from a dinner when we were in Vancouver last -- June 2001. The missus still has her things from when she was teaching taking up about a quarter of the space on the computer/ book room floor.

But they should get cleared eventually (read: sometime in the next six months). And in time for us to build up a mess again.
