Ignoring the pointlessly omitted "g", what was the point of this sentence? We never find out what you were doing, I was expecting to find out that on entering your room Bob had found you fucking a melon dressed as a monk or something equally worthy of comment. But no, its just the first (of many) thoughtless, pointless words tumbling onto the page for no great purpose and of no interest whatsoever.
