--- Regrets I will have on my deathbed ----------------------------

The oft cited "spending too much time in the office" won't feature
for me. If you don't work you can't live and there can be joy in
finally solving sticky problems, but these fuckers I will have
wasted soooo much time on by the time I die:

- Ironing. I just hate it. Such a pointless chore as the clothes I
  iron and neatly fold will be screwed up and creased before any
  chance of getting near a hanger. They'll probably just end up
  back in the wash without even being worn.
- Gardening. Abhorent. Life's purest education in the Sisyphean
  nature of life itself.
- Cooking. I liked it in the distant past. Practice doesn't make
  perfect, but I can certainly look back and see how far I've come
  from first attempts (the stupidity of rigidly sticking to cooking
  times in recipes). Years of cooking for others (kids!!) have made
  this one of my biggest chores. I hate it. I still love food and
  eating, but if you can avoid cooking for others or ways of making
  that chore easier (decent enough ready meals) or just eat out
  more I'm pretty sure life will be happier.

There are other annoyances (of course; having animals/pets brings
me more misery than joy I'm sure), but those three...

...are the hate that keep on giving.
