You know you're married to an advertising jock when...

  • A 'copy' test tests how 'original' you can be
  • Work officially 'begins at 8 pm
  • They spend more time working on 'changes' than ads
  • You feel the need to celebrate when they leave office by 8
  • Playing Counter Strike is supposed to be a mind stimulant that gets the creative juices going
  • The local eat-out, or rather, order in, guide is the most well-thumbed publication at their workplace
  • They send you YouTube links to some of the best ads in the world, and you wonder why what they do looks nothing like that at all
  • 'What are you guys really working on right now?' always yields vague and non-specific responses
  •  When you're hanging out with a bunch of friends, you end up also hugging and high-fiving your partner because you're meeting them after just as long as you're meeting your friends
  • You actually find yourself having elaborate conversations with them over the phone, or on Facebook (since, you know, when and where else would you?)
  • You don't know whether he/she is accompanying you on a trip till you are actually on the train
  • It has nothing whatsoever to do with glamour, money, or Wednesday night media-discounts, which is probably what you married them for in the first place!                                                                  
*Disclaimer: Written in a spirit of absolute fed-up-ness during a particularly hectic week at work for my husband. Hence the brutality. Mind it not :) Although I'm pretty sure this will soon be followed by a post on his blog titled 'You know you're married to a psychologist when...' Shudder :)
