You must be really on to something serious,
observed my husband seeing me engaged with my computer.
Please, please don't disturb me, it's
something very important, I said without turning my head.
Aye, what's so important that I am not aware
of, he said.
Don't distract me, I want to complete this
before the deadline, I said.
Deadline for what, he said.
Can't you wait for once, do I have to tell
you everything that I do, I snapped.
O.K. Even if you don't tell me, I can make a
guess, he said not appearing least provoked at my reaction.
Are you applying for a job, he asked.
May be I am, I said wondering how he was able
to guess.
Is it for a consultant's post because I
thought I saw an advertisement for a Family Relationships
Consultant in the paper this morning, he said.
Thanks for the information, but I am not
interested in it, I said, still continuing with my typing.
Looks like you are updating your CV, he said
trying to read what I had written.
Don't you know it's bad manners to peep into
other's work, I accused.
I know that, I am only trying to help you in
case you have forgotten to include something worth mentioning,
he said.
Thanks for that, but I think I know my
achievements and have remembered to mention all of them in my
CV, I retorted getting more and more annoyed as the deadline was
nearing and I had to send my application.
Thank God it's over, I said quite relieved
that I was able to finish the job notwithstanding the frequent
interruptions/distractions.
I will be back in a jiffy, I said rushing out
to send the document through the courier.
It's no use because the deadline for
nominations for the top post was over yesterday, he said with
his usual sarcastic smile.
