Conversations With The Girlfriend - Part IV

The girlfriend (TG) says: “What are you doing?”

I start to sigh, but stop myself. Every time I switch the computer on I get this. A sarcastic remark is surely the answer.

Me being droll: “Frying an egg.”
TG: “Ha, bloody ha. What are you doing?”
“Switching the computer on.”
“I can see that, you’re always messing about on it. I want to know what you’re doing so I can understand and learn.”

A sigh escapes without warning, I check to see if she noticed. Think I’m clear.

“Just defraging the hard drive before I do a spyware scan then I need to update a couple of programmes, restart, rip a couple of cds, write a blog post, find out why it doesn’t want to connect to the internet, if it does check my emails and then give it a long kiss as it’s a girlfriend replacement. With tongues.”
“Oh.”
“Would you like to look over my shoulder while I’m doing all of that? To learn of course.”
“Nah, you’re only messing around.”

And that, ladies and gentleman, is TG.
