Dallas, TX - Robert Hughes was reportedly amazed that the pile of laundry he’s been ignoring for 6 days is still on his bedroom floor as he stepped over his dirty sweatshirts, Carhartt pants, various soccer t-shirts, sleep pants, all of his underwear, towels, one pillowcase, and socks in order to start his job from the comfort of his living room office space.

“It seems amazing to me that the laundry is still there,” stated Hughes gesturing to the empty room. “I don’t know when it’s going to NOT be there, but I find the whole thing fascinating.”

Hughes reportedly analyzed the dirty clothes pile for a fresh shirt, this morning, before settling on a moderately clean hoodie, a shirt that had to be cleaned of an unspecified cheese stain in the bathroom sink and the same socks, pants and underwear from yesterday.

“This is my work from home attire,” stated Hughes to the refrigerator. “I’m fine. It’s fine. I probably should’ve rented an apartment that doesn’t have coin-op laundry.”

For his part, Hughes said that he is going to launch an investigation into the situation as he expects the homebound laundry crisis to increase.

“It’s only day six of this stay at home stuff,” stated Hughes. “It’s going to be interesting to see if the dirty clothes pile is still there after another week.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Hughes considers working from home in his board shorts.
