Don&#039;t eat or eat out. :)

		<description>Hi Hunter,

Washing dishes ain&#039;t so bad. I wouldn&#039;t want to do it for a living, but there are some good things about it:

1. I&#039;ve gotten some pretty cool creative ideas while washing dishes.
2. It&#039;s fun to wash dishes for someone who made dinner for you.
3. It&#039;s a good life metaphor. When overwhelmed, you can only wash one dish at a time.</description>

		<description>@ Barbara, I would always hand wash pots and pans too. I wish I enjoyed it as much as you though!

@ Sheamus, not knowing much about the dishwasher gal, I can&#039;t say with any certainty whether she&#039;s spoiled or just has an Achilles heel. As for jeans, I don&#039;t know. Steve Case was the first big executive I noticed wearing jeans all the time, and he went back to wearing suits when the bubble burst. But more people have followed in his footsteps. We&#039;ll see how long it takes for them to become the majority.

@ Brip Blap, absolutely, people use the word &quot;hate&quot; to mean so many things. I don&#039;t see how anyone can truly hate carrots. Isn&#039;t your coworker free to simply not eat them? But maybe for that lady to say she dislikes washing dishes, &quot;dislikes&quot; isn&#039;t a strong enough word to express how she feels. &quot;Hate&quot; would make it easier to get the point across, even if it&#039;s not the same kind of hate you&#039;d use for Hitler.

@ Vered, it&#039;s certainly possible that she&#039;s a drama queen, but I don&#039;t know. It&#039;s also possible that she&#039;s very well adjusted and this is just something that affects her more than the rest of us. I did find it funny how she worded it so strongly, but I also felt sympathetic if that&#039;s the way she really feels.

@ Shilpan, &quot;Life is too short, why hate?&quot; - Two thumbs up! Hating something puts tremendous stress on our minds and bodies. It&#039;s not a good idea to make hating a hobby.

@ Evelyn, I like the whole &quot;be in the now&quot; idea. Snow White had it right when she decided to whistle while she worked!

@ SaiF, I was wondering that too--why not just buy a dishwasher? I assume there must have been a reason.

@ Curmudgeon, I do like going formal every once in a while. When I go to a wedding, I always wear a suit, and I think it&#039;s funny to see so many people just pretending to dress up...if you&#039;re going to do it, you should really do it!</description>

		<description>You might find, as you gain the wisdom of years, that there is a part of you that likes the idea going formal and looking good every once in a while.  I work largely at home and my dress is informal, which makes me appreciate every single opportunity I have to put on a suit and tie.</description>

		<description>Hey Hunter!

Thanks for the link to Erica&#039;s blog!

I think it&#039;s really good =)

I agree with Evelyn on this one.. But I was just thinking.. For somebody who hates washing dishes, why didn&#039;t he just invest in a dishwasher and just save himself all that negative energy?

lol the things people do...

&lt;strong&gt;To CANI,

SaiF&lt;/strong&gt;

		<description>Since understanding the power of thought, I also refrain from the use of strong negative words.  Instead I prefer to focus on the positives and being grateful for what I currently enjoy. 

Washing dishes may not sound like a very fun thing to do.  To do them for 7 years can be admittedly agonising.  But I was told recently by a Buddhist monk to practise &quot;Being In the Now&quot; even while doing mundane household chores.  This is the secret to true happiness, I was told.
