Reality Check

A small conversation left me thinking.

She

Hi. How are you?

Me
Hi. I'm fine, Thanks. And how are you?

She
I'm doing good, Thanks. So what do you do?

Me
I work with computers!! (I pictured an image of myself, with my laptop in front of me, with me typing away).

She
So what exactly do you do with computers?

Me
(A Pregnant Pause that never ended!!)

I'm dumbfounded, unable to offer an answer which would sound meaningful to her. An answer which could be simplistic and yet, she could relate to it.

It made me realise one thing. It's time for a reality check.
