Heh, so, I "deserve" a bunch of extra responsibility and unpaid work? It's
a burden, not an enjoyably-abusable source of arbitrary executive power!(*)
Hell, I don't think I can even use it to impress the girls :-P
I blame the abolition of national service myself. A spell in the army when
I was a whippersnapper would have taught me never to volunteer for anything!
cheers,

You're right. I can state with great assurance that my wife is not
impressed in the least by any of my maintainership duties.
The dog, on the other hand is very impressed. But, then, he's impressed
by the fact that I can so easily hide the ball so that's not as big a
deal as it sounds. Actually, now that I think of it, if I'm just doing
this for the dog then I should just stick with the ball and cut out all
of the extra work...

For what? The dog has shirked all of his practice sessions and
can barely play chopsticks.
