@Judge Are you saying that you did the house cleaning jobs on a volunteer basis to gain work experience?

LOL....Nope. I'm retired. No need for work experience or a resume these days. But I enjoyed learning about "Citizen Science". Which might turn out to be right up your alley. :cool:

Unfortunately my OCD "volunteers" me for all kinds of household chores....whether I want to do them or not. And it doesn't allow me to procrastinate for very long. Having to walk out into the ice and rain, I already made a mess of my foyer at the front door. Had to clean that up quickly....sometimes I just don't get a break! :oops:

Figured out how to turn the washing machine off.

When I got up, I saw that it was on, although I hadn't
turned it on. Was flashing "sensing." I thought if I
put a blanket in, it would 'sense' it and start washing.

Nope.

I tried pressing the button and counting to 3 since the
directions for Reset said to hold the button down for
three seconds.

Nope.

I tried again, counting slower, to 4 this time.

Yay.
Washing machine turned off.

I have used up my techno-expertise for the day.
And mentally adding "can turn on the washing machine" to
my cats' resumes.

It was the ghost in the machine.
 
Experienced the excitement of buying a new toilet. Somehow, the tank on the old one cracked, and it's 30 years out of date so I can't replace just the tank.

The good part is that, according to the box, THIS toilet is powerful enough to flush 8 pool balls, all at once.

I am dizzy with anticipation.

My cats like the dryer, especially when it is still warm from a load of clothes.

Do they enjoy being in the dryer...
...while it is drying? :p
But seriously, I am very careful not to leave the dryer door open because we do have a cat.

I keep the door closed, too. They like to sleep on top of the dryer while it is still warm.
 
I signed up today to take an ongoing education certificate in Psychologically Safe Workplaces. It's a 3 course deal focusing on the importance of mental health in the workplace and how to make sure you are doing your best to support your employees mental health needs. Combined the 3 mini courses are the equivalent of a 1 semester single university course on the topic. Ever since my journey started in getting sober I've had an equal interest and growing awareness of the importance of mental health. Hopefully this will help give me more tools, training, and awareness to be a support for someone in the future.
 
Looked out back, bus stuck in snow for hours now, looked out front car stuck in snow. Thanks to my son gave his mom a electric snow shovel a few years ago.

Just a question of curiosity, would I be correct to assume with an "electric shovel" that the blade of the shovel is heated? Interested as, also being a Canadian, I hate shoveling.
 
Electric "snow blower" battery run lots of torque. works great for cleaning drive way better than shovel, light. Lasts about an hour on one charge She has two batteries. She loves it only weighs a bit more than a regular shovel. no cord.
