Marty and I are both working right now, even though it is 11:20PM.  He is at his desk in the basement running some database thing, and I'm in bed working on the most massive spreadsheet I've ever touched.  We have instant messenger on, and keep sending each other notes.  Here's a sampling of our interoffice memos:

Me: Do we have more toner for that printer?  I just sent two print jobs and got a message that the toner is low.

Marty: Yes.

Me: Can you put more paper in the printer too?

Marty: Sure.

Me: Are you thirsty?

Now, since he is both my husband and my boss, I would guess that his next question might be "Are you working?"  Or, "Why don't you sit at your own desk next to me and the printer?"  But what I really want him to say is "What would you like to drink?"
