Life with Roomba

So articles are popping up about people's attachments to their Roomba. I can sympathize, when it cheerfully goes about doing such a mundane job, how can you resist wanting to thank it?

It's funny sometimes... when it gets stuck it cries for help with a repeating tune that sounds like a death march.

Last weekend our Roomba got trapped in the bathroom. I think it was going along the wall towards the door and ended up pushing the door closed. We felt so bad... finding the Roomba all tired out, not able to finish its task of cleaning the entire house. The bathroom is clean though.

One thing that is pretty amazing is how it finds its station. It goes all over the house, but it seems to get back to the charger even though it's in a completely different room.
