Call of Duty

Mrs. Gnu is not feeling well this morning. So, being the loyal, loving husband I am, I decide to work from home. The office is 20 feet down the hall from the bedroom, same floor, no minefields, fences or Indiana Jones type of traps across the way.

So, here I am, just hacking away at the morning's to-do list, when my cell phone rings.

Me: "Hello?"

The Missus: "Hi Sweetie!"

Me: "Why are you calling me on my cell?"

TM: "I've been calling you for 5 minutes and you haven't responded!"

Me: (pure instinct) "That's odd, there's nothing in my voicemail..." (Checks both phones for missed calls and messages)

TM (growling): "That's not what I meant!"

Once a geek, always a geek!

Gotta run, duty calls.
