Anyone here have chores or tasks they must do that are extremely long and exhausting?

My dad makes me cut the hedges. I HATE IT. I don't mind raking or other yard work, but I just despise doing that, 'specially if it's on a hot day.

Also, I have 950 songs on my computer. Because I'm mildly OCD, they all have to be sorted just right. Sorted by artist, album, and track number. It's the most tedious task, but it's gotta be done or else I go crazy. I need a neat and organized media library. I just reorganized tonight and it took me two hours. Okay, so I'm a bit nuts on this one :crazy:

So what are the chores that make you cringe?

I hate doing dishes because I'm all...OCD and I'm afraid I don't clean them good enough so it takes me like 10 minutes to wash a cup.

Organizing my tape library. My tapes all have to be labeled as such, and I MUST have a detailed list of every single thing that's on it. :crazy:

My job of calling people for clothing donations for charity gets very tedious after a while and keeps me from concentrating on my screenwriting ideas. I hate repetition and saying the same things over and over. I like spontenaity.

Leave 'em in there, and when you get a big enough buildup, KrazyGlue it back on the sparse areas - your own Hair Club for Hockey Pucks!

Cannot stand vacuuming or washing the floors. Seems so futile sometimes with all the pets. I'll just get all the stairs done and ten minutes later it looks like a cat exploded again. :rolleyes:

I agree. I hate dusting, I think it is the biggest waist of time. You basically move everything on the forniture and then put it back. Unfortunatly my mom makes me dust about once a week.

Every single chore during summer time is tedious. Both kids are out of school and it's almost impossible to start cleaning around. At least I can get them to clean their room every now and then! :D

Thoroughly cleaning house. And I mean I HATE it! My mom and sister do not realize this; therefore, I come across as being so lazy and dirty. :rolleyes:

Organizing my closet...it will always be hard despite the many times I explained to my mom there is just no room in there.

Taking out the garbage. Doesnt seem like much, But for a Germaphobic like myself its a nightmare. I Usually spend like 20 minutes washing my hands after it.
