Overworked, Underpaid, and  Absolutely NO Gratitude

    Ladies and gentleman presenting…. THE NON-FOLDER OF CLOTHES!  He does AMAZING FEATS!  He not only doesn’t spend any time in his room AWAKE, he also does horrible terrifying things!  He DOESN’T FOLD HIS LAUNDRY AFTER HE GETS DONE WITH IT! 

            Now, most of you out there are saying to yourselves, who is this most amazing person?  I simply must meet him (and give him my phone number if you’re a lady).  Well, that amazing person of non-folding laundry is me. 

            Thus far in the semester, Jay and I have switched roles.  While Jay, being an art major has to do many projects and so has time to put them off until the end of the semester, I have ongoing work.  However, I have made the mistake of committing myself to many, many projects, that are not of my choosing.  Not only that but I am pursuing my own passions, which include preaching (and that takes a heck of a long time to work up a sermon). As a result, I walked in to my party suite (my dorm suite in Sturgis “The Land of Milk and Honey” Hall) to a group of people, one of which was a female who was extremely traumatized. 

            My roommate soon pointed out exactly why she was traumatized and I looked up to see a pair of my undergarments hanging from my door.  The story?  The female in question was teasing my roommate.  When he decided he had had enough, he looked for something extremely cottony to throw at this female.  As a pile of whites (yes ladies, I do know how to do laundry, unlike most males) were laying in my floor unfolded, he selected a nice pair and slingshotted them at said female.  Thus is the story.

            The point made to me after I returned to the room was the point made to any slob: FOLD YOUR LAUNDRY!  Now, even though I may have a few messy tendencies sometimes, I would also take this moment to point out to anyone who has spent time in my room that of the four suite mates, I AM THE BLOODY ONE (said with an English accent) WHO IS NEVER THERE! 

            Because I have overcommitted myself to so many things, it is a rare occurrence for me to spend an entire evening with the mates and ladies hanging out.  I have too many people and things depending on me.  As a result, there is sometimes an overage of housework to be done in the party suite.  Also as a result, my undergarments become flying objects that hit females.  Hmmmm.

            Although the second happening isn’t so bad, I would like to now make a request.  Anyone who would like to fold my laundry from now on would be paid…. Um….

            CRAP!  I just realized I have no money.  Oh well.  Well, now that I have finished this small project, it’s off to start another one.  Good day!
