My master's voice...
...sounds an awful lot like a dryer buzzer. The sound elicits a Pavlovian response as I. Must. Go. Fold. Clothes. NOW. Many an IM conversation has languished while I folded my warm laundry. Can I get a witness?

I hate ironing; I have no ironing routine. My iron gets pulled out less than ten times a year. The key to working with this aversion, without us looking like we sleep in our clothes, is to fold the clothes as soon as the dryer stops, while everything is still warm. And hang lots of things on hangers. If clothes sit too long in the finished dryer I'm forced to run it a while longer to fluff everything. We don't want to waste energy like that, do we? I didn't think so. Excuse me while I go fold some clothes.
