Finding all the corners
I am not going to lie to you. Some tasks that are actually very routine take me longer than I think they should. I just finished running the vacuum cleaner around the house. This is not a large house and I know where I am going and I could count the corners for you but some other parts of the job are just at the limits of my ability. A task as simple as emptying out the vacuum cleaner’s bin in the garbage bin requires that I rethink things. Some reverse engineering is involved. If I cannot see the latches to open the bin I have to figure out where they should be through logic. And I do. That is now empty. However if I was doing this for someone else they would have sent me to the road a long time ago. My abilities are not what I think they should be. So going forward what should I do? I could lock the doors and keep all others out. No more dust or dirt. Or I can accept that dust and dirt are part of life but that does not make much sense when we have gone beyond dirt floors. Therefore I continue. If someone is watching me they will be given to fits of laughter because I take a lot longer to get myself out of any corner than I should. Not that different from a robot I suppose except that I cost less and eat more. That’s it. That’s my rant for now. In other stories I see that the federal Minister of Finance has decided to resign. There is something sinister about that I am wondering how the government will get itself out of this corner. The news has just broken so there are no pundit articles to read just yet by the end of the afternoon I am sure the rumour bill will be hard at work. Our government has become a walking rumour just in time for the holidays.
