Since the major management restructure here at the beginning of the year where I took the developmental position of DoDO (De Ad) – Director of Domestic Operations (Detail & Admin), I’m enjoying the new responsibilities. After a full TNA revealed a number of competency areas where I’m overskilled (IT Support and Car Fleet Valeting to name but two), there is one, where my personal productivity is much lower than the previous job-holder!
..and that cannot be allowed to continue!
That area is ironing, and more specifically, shirts. The debate about whether they should be ironed, folded and then placed in a drawer, or ironed and then placed on a hanger, is for another time – at the moment, my emphasis is on productivity.
Even with a steam iron, I’m averaging about 6 minutes a shirt – and that feels slooooooow! I’m sure in my bachelor days, I was much quicker than this (but then again, there was no daytime TV!!!).
Is there anyone out there with any tips for getting them ironed more quickly? Is it possible to completely iron a shirt in say, four minutes (or less)? …or should I just invest in the non-iron variety?
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
