Productivity

My wife is the most productive person in the world. Every minute needs to be used to either help someone else or make yourself better somehow. Typical conversation between us:
Dawn: What are you going to do today?
Me: I don't know... thinking about watching TV or playing video games maybe... What do you have planned?
Dawn: Well... I will be teaching a diabetes class, balancing the checkbook, researching new cures for diseases, brushing up on my spanish, paying bills, working on the christmas play for church, helping my grandma... of course, this is just what I'm going to do before lunch.
Me: Uhhh....
Dawn: Just think of what you could be doing if you weren't playing video games... perhaps learning another language or something useful.

Andrew and I discussed this the other night. We decided that playing video games could be useful... let's say Dawn and I are walking down the street and suddenly find a plasma rifle. She isn't going to know how to use it, unless the directions are in spanish. But my halo playing skills would suddenly be of extreme usefulness. I would know what to do with this weapon... and I would also know that there's a rocket launcher somewhere around...

Useless? I think not.
