Coordinating Geeks

My laptop resides upstairs in our spare room right next to Sophia’s room. I can of course move it and use it anywhere, but usually that’s where I am if I’m using the computer. Kurt’s computer is a desktop and lives in the man cave.

After Sophia goes to bed, at eight, I turn off my speakers so that any site I happen to land on with sound won’t blast her awake. If I have a question, comment, or complaint for Kurt and he happens to be at his computer, rather than shout or walk all the way downstairs I will use the text feature on Skype.

Tonight I was on IRC with a friend coordinating her flight out here. Kurt was watching TV at the time so I went down to see how long we should invite her to say with us. “fourty-five minutes to an hour” he says. He’s such an ass.

Later Kurt went downstairs to his cave. I sent the proposed itinerary to him on Skype. I commented to him on how long she would be traveling for her return trip, I drop her off at the airport at 9pm and she wouldn’t arrive home until 9am the following morning. That sparked the following conversation between Kurt and Smarmoofus though me. Kurt Skyped the text to me and I pasted it onto IRC to Smoofy, and the other way around from Smoofy to Kurt.

Kurt: Of course it’s long. She needs to transfer planes 3 times, then get on a riverboat and go upstream 24 miles, then get on a mule and go 14 miles through a swamp.

Smoofy: He forgot about the canyon pass…

Kurt: I was thinking about that, but I figured Ar-Kansas probably doesn’t have any passes.

I’m such a geek and now I’m blogging about it. I think this must complete a geek mission and I should be leveling up at any minute.

    Nah, it isn’t geeky at all. BTW, at some point they don’t let you level up anymore. You have to find the golden right to get more hit points.
