GTD

That's short for 'Getting Things Done'. A couple of weeks ago, I would have laughed at the whole idea of attending a workshop just to see 'how to get things done'!. This incident, that happened after a long day's work opened my eyes :

Him : Can you put some water in a pan; for boiling?
Me : (totally tired...but how long is this going to take!) oh yeah..

Within the next 2 minutes:
Him : Can you also add some tea powder while the water's boiling?!
Me : I thought you wanted water...anyway..I'm moving off in another minute...
(Time to pour myself a glass of juice!)
Him : Still in the kitchen?! Can you just strain that thing and put it in a glass?! I'll take care of it!
Me : You mean you'll drink it?!
Him : Yes...after adding milk and sugar though..On second thoughts..can you add milk too...I heard the fridge door opening...
Me : (trying hide the exasperation!) You could have just asked me to make some tea for you!
Him : (with an evil grin) You remember I attended the 'Getting Things Done' workshop last week....Was testing some stuff I learnt!

I couldnt believe I fell for it!
