Household cleaning is the toughest job I have ever done. It should not exist.

Agreed. And the thesaurus abuse leads to a plethora of supercilious inscrutabilities.

But if I had any advice for the author, it wouldn’t be writing lessons, it would be to keep cleaning people’s houses until he learns to value simple labor.

While dirty jobs are dirty, they can be meditative, especially in service of “people who haven't been dealt the best of cards.”

But the author missed that opportunity this time, meditating only on his own personal misfortune of being reduced to such lowly work as household cleaning, which “should not exist” (??) for that reason.

Honestly I just felt bad for the people cleaning up after this guy his whole life. Apparently he never noticed them.
