Late on a Friday night Professor Sheldon Cooper was watching "Star Trek" DVDs and waiting for his wife to come home from work. Finally, at 11.30pm the door opened and Sheldon ran over to his wife, Dr Bernardette Rostenkowski-Cooper. Sheldon picked up his wife and gave her a big hug to welcome her home.

"Sorry to be so late Sheldon, the meeting dragged on into the evening and then I had to go back to my office to sort out paperwork."

"Not a problem Bernadette, glad to have you home at last. Do you need anything to eat, we saved you some Thai food from earlier this evening."

"Oh Sheldon, I don't deserve you. Can we we just go to bed, I am really tired."

"Come to bed, you look exhausted. We can have some time together this weekend."

Next morning Sheldon got up at 6.00am to watch "Doctor Who", he let his wife sleep in. When Bernadette finally awoke at 9.30am Sheldon made her a nice breakfast and they ate it together. At 10.00am Bernardette's phone rang, she spent half an hour on the phone with her boss talking about last night's meeting.

When she finally escaped from the call Bernadette burst into tears.

"Oh Sheldon, I hate my job, it is taking over my life!"

"It's OK Bernadette, I am here for you."

"When I started it was a good job, I was earning lots of money and working in the lab as a biologist. Now it is just meetings and paperwork and travel and late nights. I haven't been near the lab for weeks. Why did I study so hard for a PhD when I can't do any more science? My boss doesn't have a PhD."

Bernardette's phone rang again, Sheldon snatched it out of his wife's hand.

"Doctor Rostenkowski-Cooper can't come to the phone at the moment. Oh it's you Penny, I thought you were Bernardette's boss. I suppose you ladies have wedding things to talk about, here she is."

"Hi Bernie"

"Hi Penny, what time are we meeting at Amy's?"
