In between posts today I ’ve been run upstairs to sandpaper down these plaster patches I had to put up after the electrician ran newfangled wire through our theatre . It ’s been quite a chore … posting something , cart bum upstairs , slap down a speckle , sanding , slap down some plasterwork , sanding … and I ’ve noticed more and more plaster detritus all over the house because I ’m using a broom to clean most of it up , to little service .
Due to a confluence of outcome — my married woman ’s gestation , the lineman coming , and a power surge literally melt my monitor and Roomba battery charger — I’ve noticed something unbelievable and/or wicked : Roomba is an of import member of our household .
We are slob . We houseclean up only when we have guests coming over . The rest of the time the business firm is pretty moth-eaten . Until we had Roomba , we would half - heartedly sweep our hardwood story and launder them once a month . Then we pay back Roomba . It ’s a first generation unit of measurement , pretty introductory , nothing particular . But it has really changed the agency we houseclean . We set the bugger up , he — notice the theanthropism — and he does his business . We pick him up , empty him out , and put him to seam . The dog hates him and tries to bite him , but we do n’t let them press .
Now , the real key here is that Roomba has taken over as an integral part of the housework . And , unlike the washing machine , it does things without being told . It catches just about all the dust on the floor and in corners and makes things so much comfortable . And , because Roomba has been sick because his charger is busted , we are even braggy slobs . We have grown to depend whole - heartedly on this ridiculous hunk of charge card .
The Roomba , like TiVo , has changed something intrinsic about our life . I guess that ’s a effective matter , but if Roomba ’s new charger does n’t get here soon — a big “ I love you ” to Roomba support for sending one to us for destitute , even though they transport it to the incorrect reference at first — we ’re going to be inches mysterious in soil .
