I am in a work transition.  The company I joined a year ago is going through a huge overhead cost reduction effort, has released several executives and senior managers and demoted several more.  As the "new guy" hired to help transform the company I was not deemed critical to operations and my role was eliminated.

I have been doing some remote consulting work and networking to find a new role.

My wife has been the sole income earner for a month now. Which is not a problem.  We have always lived significantly below our means including the homes we have purchased, vehicles we drive, etc.... We can life comfortably on her income.

The problem is ... it is tax season and as a Tax Manager for a CPA firm she has been working 13+ hour days 7 days a week since mid February.  I do the cooking, cleaning, etc.  Also not a problem.  Not my favorite full time job ever but... under the current circumstances I am happy to do it.

Last night while I was cleaning up after dinner my wife grabbed the laptop to finish up the tax returns for her family.  She was plinking around looking for a medical cost exclusion for the state where my MIL lives when she expostulates "What the hell have you been doing?"  She then proceeded to give me a ration of crap for surfing "Old lady porn".  

?????                        

I had no idea what she was talking about.  So I asked her what she was talking about.   Her answer.... "You were searching for "SpermGrandHags" on line!"

I lost it, I was taking a drink of water and shot water out of my nose, started choking through laughter while she sat next to me looking at me with a scornful scowl on her face.

She had never seen my STalk pet name for the SpermIdiot's mother before.  In discussion we have always referred to her either by her first name or "The bitch from hell".

We have not spoken of her in years.

I had entered "SpermGrandHags"in the Find on page field because I had noticed I had left out an apostrophe when I was proofing reading a post I had typed, got distracted before I added the apostrophe and did not want to re-read the entire post to find the edit point.

The Find on page field is directly below the web address line on our browser so as she was searching medical cost tax exclusions she noticed my page search. Being brain dead from insane work hours she did not notice that it was a page search and not an internet search.

Once I explained it to her she busted out laughing.  We laughed so hard together our stomachs hurt.

I will never live down getting busted by my wife for my apparent  predilection towards old lady porn.  She will give me shit over this for the rest of my life.  And we will both laugh about it.
