Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness
I am not a gadget person. In the kitchen, I’m pretty content working with a few implements, two very sharp knives, a trusty set of pots and pans that are over twenty years old, but I admit to having many chopping boards. One for veggies and fruit only, one for garlic and onions, one for raw chicken, one for meat, one for fish. Those are not gadgets, so I digress.
Wait. Ready? Elizabeth, who does not even like cell phones is about to plunk down good money for a rumba vacuum cleaner. Now that is a gadget! They start at $199.00 and go up to $699.00. Pricey. What’s wrong with a regular noisy, drag-by-the-cord heavy old-fashioned machine?
Well, for starters, the rumba is programmable. It will clean each room when you ask it too, you never have to remind it. So you can program it to clean while you are at work. It is small, only about 34 centimeters in diameter and nine centimeters high. It has special “powers” to find dust bunnies under beds and dirt where you think dirt should not reside, but does. It can go around corners where its brushes search every inch for dirt, and it never falls down the stairs. When it is done, it goes back to its home base, and recharges. It is also designed for easy cleaning. What more could you want? The rumba is the perfect domestic. Oh, I forgot. When it finds a lot of crumbs on the kitchen floor or a corner of a room you would overlook normally, it actually admonishes you, the home owner with an out loud, (”Oh, oh.”) Is that code for “Don’t be a slob?” Maybe we should have one for DDA as well.
Not that we are slobs at DDA. In fact, we try hard to keep our offices reasonably neat. Bathrooms and our kitchen are definitely always clean and stocked with appropriate supplies. Since one’s physical space is a reflection of who you are, we strive to keep mess at bay. This extends to the way we work as well. Our different teams, videographers, content developers, graphic designers, It staff, SEO specialists, production crew, could do sloppy work, but we take such pride in what we do that we could not in good conscience hand over less than the best effort to our clients. We carefully proofread and test and look for bugs before we release projects. Unlike the rumba, we do not want a client to come back with their version of “Oh,oh.”
