After a long day at work, one usually looks forward to going home to relax and avoid any more work. Unfortunately, David Blakely, a mental health counselor with the Sterling Correctional Facility, is returning home to more work in the form of household chores, namely washing the dishes.
According to him, dishes are one of the chores he cares least for.
"No, ironing I find therapeutic. Not the dishes," Blakely said.
"What does doing the dishes make me feel," he said, "Tiredness, boredness, sometimes indifference."
Blakely took over dishes duty because his wife has a skin condition, a form of eczema that prevents her from interacting with detergents long-term.
However, hope for relaxation may not be lost, Blakely may not end up hating the activity.
Blakely said, "There is at times satisfaction when [the dishes are] all done."
The question we all want an answer to is: will this be one of those times?
