True. I get annoyed every time the dirty laundry pile gets large, too.
But I expect to have to periodically do laundry every so often else
I'll end up either going out stinky or nekked. ;-) I also expect to
change tools from time to time, whether it be due to changing needs,
change in tool availability, or whatever the case may be. Thus, like
laundry, I try to plan out when I might need to do the deed, and
sometimes the need sneaks up on me. Either case (changing tools or
doing laundry), it's not a task I particularly enjoy doing, but it's a
necessary evil I try to account for in my life.
Though I do have to comment that it's more acceptable to work with a
EOLed tool than it is to show up to work either stinky or nekked. ;-)
