To whit: I promised to send my resume out to a few people, which pretty much implies that I have to get it up to date in order to have something to send. Instead, I completely took apart my stovetop for the first time ever (I have been in this house since 1999) so that I could explore and clean every accessible gunk-containing nook and cranny. It's very, very clean now, and as I type, I'm listening to the hum of the exhaust fan as I smell the whiff of incinerating oven goo as the self-cleaning function does its thing.
I hate cleaning so much that the first thing I will do when I get another job is to call Jola, who has been cleaning my house for fifteen years (except for two months six years ago when I was between jobs) and implore her to come back NOW. I'd rather knit, dye, spin, sew, bead, read, cook, sleep, write software, write instructions, submit teaching proposals, see a movie, watch TV, go to parent-teacher conferences (for both kids), help kids with homework, go grocery shopping - pretty much anything! - rather than clean. I was going to say I'd rather do taxes, but I wouldn't, I'd rather clean, though not often. On the other hand taxes happen once a year only, and I believe I have the strength of character to deal with that.
On the other hand (foot?), I do have new socks.

Yes you do have new socks....................and I don't.
poor poor poor poor me.
On another note Rachel h. and I were talking niddy noddies the other day,and I remembered yours from SOAR. What kind was it again.
It was cute,it was turned, it was adjustable. It haunts my dreams, I must have one.
It was a David Reed Smith, available from the Woolery in Brewster, NY. I forget the name of the niddy noddy, but it's completely disassemblable, and adjustable - it can be configured to make three different skein lengths. He also has a spindle kit (which I also had to have, even though I don't spindle spin much) with two different shafts and three different whorls, also very lovely.
