A while back, my wife had bought one of those stupid Swiffer dusters that has irked me to no end. Those little pads ain't cheap, and it just seemed like an extra expense, although I never really voiced that opinion (beyond a couple of quickly squashed passive-aggressive remarks that I mumbled buy knew better than to repeat 
). Never really though it would be prudent to say what I was thinking, which was along the lines of, "Well, how hard is it to just use a rag?", because I knew what would come next:
"You're right, it's not hard at all! That's why you can do the dusting from now on!"
Momma didn't raise no fool, no way! 'Pick yer battles', that's what this boy always says, and that most definitely was not a battle that I wanted to pick. []
So I was taking pictures tonight, doing the lint-be-damned-to-hell shuffle that I always do - wipe the mirror, polish the pen, put the pen on the mirror, bump the light with my stupid meat hook on the way out of the booth, putting more lint on the mirror, pick up the pen, wipe the mirror, bump the camera, pick up the pen, wipe the mirror, involuntarily WHOOSH out the breath that I'd been holding - sending lint flying everywhere, pick up the pen, wipe the mirror, get ready to take the shot, look closer, pick up the pen, polish the pen from all the fingerprints from picking it up, wipe the mirror, put the pen on the mirror, bump the @!#@$$#! light....
I got to thinking that it'd be nice to have some way to reach in the booth with a stick and wipe up dust without worrying about bumping everything.
Now I'm doin' the Swiffer shuffle! []
This thing is a Godsend! Now that it's being put to a reasonable use, I can justify the cost of the little fluffy pad things, and it makes life soooo much easier to be able to reach in there with precision and then hold it behind me near the floor and shake it out.
Thought I'd share! Now don't tell the wife where her duster went! hehe
