in terms of tidiness, how ready is your home generally to receive unexpected visitors?

[doomed_daniel@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko "presentable in a couple of hours if you leave certain doors closed"

[hendric@astronomy.city]

@eniko me: It's always ready
My wife: Argh, we need a day to clean!!

I try to convince her to clean *after* guests leave, but it never works.

[mshearthwitch@wandering.shop]

@eniko I definitely vary between always ready and can get it ready, but at this point in my life it is probably closer to 30 min to get ready not a few hours.

It's take a LOT of work to get to this point.

[jiub@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net]

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place i could get it presentatable in a few hours, but depending on how it goes one or two rooms might become designated dumping zones and remain off limits ​​

[mshearthwitch@wandering.shop]

@RamsHornStudios @eniko Yeah we have been regularly hosting friends for dinners and craft nights and it's definitely made a difference. These days someone could nearly always pop round for a visit with no notice.

@eniko
There are "visible" rooms, and there are "fun" rooms.

[gureito@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko can get it presentable in a couple hours if they don't need to visit my cav.. i mean, office.

[yvan@toot.ale.gd]

@eniko it's a shitty chaotic mess, but I don't really give a crap so if someone wanted to visit that's fine... so I voted that it is always ready.

[transience@beige.party]

@eniko Here in South Korea, culturally, people drop by without giving much notice. So you have to keep it presentable whether you want to or not. 😅

[apophis@yourwalls.today]

@eniko the joys of having a living room (i.e. the room no one really lives in)

[meadow@lgbtqia.space]

@eniko
My home is literally falling apart. Guests are not permitted.

[4censord@unfug.social]

@eniko its generally acceptable, but i usually spent 15min collecting dirty laundry / dishes and emptying bins beforehand

[fabiosantoscode@mastodon.social]

@eniko other - my house reflects my mental state so, if I'm depressed it's not ready ever

[alice@lgbtqia.space]

@eniko like, I could get it cleaned up nice in an hour, but anyone who'd care if I didn't isn't worth having as a visitor.

[aprazeth@mstdn.social]

@alice @eniko
This!

Plus folks that know me do not show up unannounced, unless there is an issue of a personal nature. And in that scenario they are *always* welcome any time of day.

[getter7seven@peoplemaking.games]

@eniko I voted how I voted, but advent of pandemic means Not A Single One save for paths cleared for service techs unbothered by anything because they've seen far worse. All others relegated to front porch no matter what they may think~

[niji_limbo@songbird.cloud]

@eniko Used to be "presentable in a couple (or more) hours" in the Before Times
Now.... it very much is not...

[landelare@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko I can get it presentable in a couple of *MINUTES*

[pjokse@xn--h9jep6j.xn--p8ja8e.xn--q9jyb4c]

@eniko
define unexpected visitors... A few people do know the chaos we live in, so it's more of a matter of those needing utilities access or something where I need to clear or rearrange things for access, like moving boxes out of the bedroom to access the utility hatch for water

[musicappreciator7@kpop.social]

@eniko it's not at all ready, but I decided a long time ago that anyone visiting can just deal with it. I've got too much going on to make my house a pretend level of neatness
