Not to brag, but I'm quite good at not getting things done if I have an opportunity. It's quite an art, and takes years of training. However, sometimes I'm too lazy to be lazy. So I end up doing something...There are still things to work on in that aspect.
 
I've been buying paper plates/bowls and plastic cutlery. It took a while to get the wife to agree with the wastefulness, but when she saw the savings in housework, she saw the light.

When I take the trash out, the dishes are done. :)

Maybe buy an automatic dishwasher ?

I am genuinely terrified that I'm never going to get the experience I had eight years ago ever again.

I've got a little experience working with animals (did so in zoo's for a few years). It can be tricky because often quite a few candidates for not a huge number of openings. However if you put aside a day a week to volunteer (purely for the good of your health) you'll DEFINITELY find something to do (sweep the floor, the animals are the bonus bit). There's lots of charitables around and lots to do, they just can't afford to pay as a rule.

However, here's some hope; I didn't get job (National Birds of Prey Centre) because I was qualified - and this is 100% true - I got it by volunteering (a couple of afternoons a week while teaching p/t the rest). Getting on with the jobs and with the people, eventually making myself useful, employed. The informal way in, not an NVQ in sight so there's more than one way to skin a cat (though I don't suggest you volunteer to do that at the moggy protection league!)


I can make money magically vanish.
 
Woodwork, carpentry.

I must have inherited it from my Grandfather who was a "chippie" and worked on projects such as the original Queen Elizabeth in Southampton. I built a garden office, (man cave), and a tool shed without plans.
