When you're as lazy as I am, you need to create shortcuts and easy ways out. At some point in my 50th year I said, "It's not worth the effort." Which has become the catch-all for not being bothered.

PLUS, we no longer have the classic trash barrel full of crumpled-up failed starts.

In days when letters were prepared by the typists it was a brave person who approached the head of the typing pool to request minor changes to letters. These days whole forests are laid bare as 'I am sorry' becomes 'I apologise' and visa versa.

The telephone removed from us the aggravation of having to get up and go and visit someone but now we have no peace and quiet in which to do the nothing we so desperately crave because the dang phone keeps ringing. The more self propelled cleaning gadgets we have the less excuse we have for the house being dirty. I could go on but I think you get the idea.....we lazy folk may just have shot ourselves in our collective foot lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
