It is not uncommon to find oneself thinking such thoughts as "I can't stand
this" or "If only I didn't have to do this." As the psychologist Albert Ellis
notes, such thoughts frequently involve whining. In essence, we are acting
likebabies and whining about things "not being fair." One can continue to do
this if one choose, say Ellis. However, it is usually more efficient to simply
accep the fact that life is not always a bowl of cherries, stop whining, and
get on with the task.

I have had a dishwasher for years. Damned imperfect device - it doesn't go and collect the dirty dishes and load itself, not does it put the damn things away again. What kind of people do they have working for them :-) Of course, if I was a bloke, I might still have had an outside chance of finding a wife who was happy doing all that shit...
