Open source vs. Open wife

[Phoenician]

 Just out of curiosity, how many have a non-technical SO (significant other)
who's eyes glaze over when you tell them about your day (if you work with
PCs),
your hobby(ies), latest gadget, or some such?  How do you handle it?

 I only ask because my fiancé will ask me about my day, what I am tinkering
with
or why I am in the basement hooting and hollering like a chimp :> but when I
tell
her about it she starts to she starts to fidget.  Things are fine between
the two
us but I was curious about other peoples stories.

ps: It's not a good idea to describe any lack of response
as in terms of pings and packet loss hehehe
