Random haiku #6

You have a question
so you ask a different one
Now we are both sad

...I'm pretty sure you're not my spouse in disguise...

Let me check...

Hmm... No wedding ring, absurdly long potential commute time, teddy bear and fox guarding a chair, but no spouse...

Yes, I'm 99 & 44/100 % sure I'm not your spouse in disguise.


This one was based on one of my pet peeves here at work. People who will ask any question at all *but* the one they actually want the answer too.

Goatee? Do you have a goatee? (Spouse!Man _is_ the evil twin...)

I do that. Spouse does not approve. I have an almost pathological fear of being direct.

No goatee. I do have a perpetual five-o'clock shadow (razors and I barely get along), but no goatee.

I fear I shall have to side with your spouse on this issue. Even if he is apparently the evil twin. At least on anything even vaguely resembling tech-support.

Oh, no, I can ask solid questions fine ("Bryce, my computer is giving me this specific error message, is it important and, if so, could you fix it?")

It's the complicated emotional stuff, or asking for favors, where I have a really hard time being direct.

Ah!

Hmm...

Yeah, I'll give you that one. Well, as long as it doesn't involve... long... draw out... questions... with... long pauses. :)

Only in the midst of a really bad fight.
