Sometimes, I take efficiency too far
I have an enviable little
device in my kitchen that’s connected to our built-in vacuum. Whenever I sweep
the floor, instead of using a dustpan, I just kick a little lever, and WHOOSH--away goes my pile of dirt through a labyrinth of pipes and into a canister in
the garage. If I mistakenly suck up something I shouldn't have, I
can rifle through the nastiness and retrieve it if I really have to. Efficient.
