seven deadly sins page 4 by ric gustafson
Noreen Halsteen put the plate of pot roast on the dining room table. She also put on it some cooked potatoes and some cooked carrots. She looked at the clock on the wall. She knew Ben would be home any minute.
Ben walked through the door from the garage. He put his briefcase on the kitchen hutch. He sat down at the kitchen table. He frowned as he saw what was on the table.
" Pot roast again". He sneered at his wife. " With all those cookbooks". He frowned as he put some on his plate. " Can't you make anything else?".
" Sorry" was her reply as she put roast, carrots and potatoes on her plate. " I'll try something different next time".
Ben poured himself a goblet of water.
" How did the department meeting go?".
" Terrible".
" What happened?".
" Elaine who is one of my best employees". He kept eating the pot roast. " Even with plenty of time came up with one of the worst slogans I have ever heard".
" It'll get better".
" It better". Ben pushed his chair back and stood up. " I'm thinking about taking her off the slogan project".
She watched Ben sit down in his favorite easy chair.
Noreen sighed. She was getting tired of her husband's angry outbursts.
