My mom: How’s work going, Meg? Meg: Space travel completely redefined interplanetary trade today, I gotta fix that tomorrow. My mom: Um… Ok. Would you like some dinner?
lol not only you. Co-worker- "So any plans tonite?" Me-"I've got to check out space and see how it will affect my smuggling operations." Co-worker- ***Strange look*** next day Co-worker- "So how was space?" Me-"Couldn't check it out, stuck on a planet that has no thrusters on the market" Co-worker-"okay........" Me-"Oh hey how would you like to be co-owner of a mothership?" Co-worker- **walked away*** I think we might all have those moments from time to time :)
husband: what are you doing, dear? me: trying to plot trade routes and their costs. husband: oh, is that for your stupid game, again? me: it's not stupid. I like it. husband: you must, you spend quite a bit of time working on it. me: well, it's important to know what's happening. things can change drastically overnight. I need to keep on top of things. you never know what can happen next, and I need to re-establish my flight operations. husband: and, you wonder why you don't have any friends.
yeah, I tried that. and, when I went to visit some of them, a couple of years back. he sat around with them drinking beer and they all had a good laugh over my gullibility and my quest for a decent almond croissant. I can't win.
