We’re getting hit with a blizzard here in NYC today and as such the wife and I are working from home.
Our office is setup so that our desks are right next to each other along the wall, so we are within 3 feet of each other. I do believe that there is some sort of Doppler Effect happening in that area. I go and say something (usually nonsensical and funny to me) and there is a good 30-45 second pause before I get a ‘heh’ from the Wife.
When I mentioned this scientific anomaly to my Wife, she stated that she was busy working, that she knew I did something silly, and that she felt she should respond in some form.
So there isn’t any anomaly between our desks as first theorized. She just realizes I did something that I require validation for, and is acknowledging it so that I leave her alone and she can continue to work.
Isn’t marriage grand??? 😛

At least SOMEONE was working. 😛

Exactly. This is common practice in my house as well.
