I want my cycles back

I generally believe that Trouble burns far fewer cycles on noticing things around the house than I do. For instance, the cobweb that was hanging three feet above his computer for the last month that I finally knocked down - I doubt he ever saw it. These are the sorts of things that I walk into a room an automatically notice - I have some sort of check and cross-check thing going on in my head quite a lot, though if I could have designed myself better I might have spent those cycles on something else besides checking the baseboards.
