I'll give you a hint... You've seen my cooking album, and before I changed to IT, I used to work in finance.

Are you my sister from another mister?

For me I think it’s probably cooking and cleaning but I rarely do either and I suck at math sooo

@KDOGG331 Have you checked out the What are you Listening to Right Now thread?

Oh! Common now! Cooking and cleaning can be fun! That moment when its l done and you sit down to a drink and admire your work for 30 seconds before the urchins get ahold of it. The perfectly cooked meal that you spent hours preparing being mouth wateringly tasty. Finances are great when you have enough to cover all the bills, not so great when you dont.

Yes, it's a glorious 30 seconds. After that... not so much.
What annoys me is how fast the evidence of that work vanishes. No matter how perfect I get either thing, I have to do it again that same day. It's the same reason that I dislike puzzles. I like cleaning my own spaces, such as the chicken coop. It's just frustrating when small cyclones undo everything in a half hour with no recognition that you just spent three precious hours out of your life making everything tidy and in order. I've learnt to simply spend just enough time on cleaning to keep it under control and to let perfection go; it's not attainable.

I suppose cooking would be more fun if I cared more about it. To me, food's just what keeps you alive long enough to do other stuff. Plus... picky eaters suck all the remaining fun out of it. Ungrateful brats.

I can roll with steady downward slopes in the visible return on things that I do. That's expected. It's just annoying when it looks more like a graph of nuclear half-life with no return on effort.

Chickens at least don't dump garbage everywhere—and look moderately interested in your work when the coop gets cleaned! I suppose cooking would be more fun if I cared more about it.

As a child, I was constantly inventing new contraptions to get out of repetitive work. I can't remember how many attempts I made at a bed-making machine or a new, more efficient system of clearing the table. I believe the most memorable edition of the former idea involved a string running to the light switch to also turn off the lights when the covers were pulled back, though the details are fuzzy now.

totally understand! I feel the same way. Of course I don’t have kids but even with the animals, stuff just gets dirty again so fast or like Gator shed sooo much so you could vacuum multiple times a day (we didn’t ) and there’d be fur all over again like two seconds later.

That is amazing!! You should have gone into inventing, you could invent stuff and become rich haha people come up with the dumbest stuff ever and get rich off it your ideas are actually good.

And tbh I don’t make my bed

I keep a binder with a few schematics of things I've designed. They're nothing new or special, though, apart from the perpetual motion machine—which doesn't work because it would require an element or compound with nonexistent properties, lol.
