I can't see it happening in my head.

I can't see it in my head, either. I have to draw little arrows of motion on the rims of the gears. That one is simple enough that I can picture the little arrows and hold them in mind long enough to see the problem, but I have to be looking for a problem to catch it.

Huh. I can picture two of the gears turning in my head quite easily. Supposedly men are better at visualizing stuff like this.

I didn't have a problem with it either.

You know what? It really pisses me off when a law student doesn't know how to look up a statute for which they have the section numbers. When I told her where the code was, she looked totally freaked out and ran to another librarian.

Dear Students,

I refuse to do your work for you. Don't tell me you "need" it and expect me to produce it for you. It's your job to learn these things and my job to teach you. Suck it up.

Signed, You Won't Be Getting A Recommendation From Me

I can picture two gears, but for more than two I need to at least picture the arrows. Some test I took had a lot of those types of problems with multiple gears and pulleys and belts in each problem, I definitely can't just look at those and know what will happen.

I pictured the two bottom gears turning and squashing the top gear.

But am I alone in not really being bothered by it? It's an ad for a non-mechanical thing.

Intellectually, I know it's a trivial thing. But it still bugs me. Sorta' like an itch, if that makes sense.

No. I had no problem visualizing the (mechanical) problem, but really saw no reason to laugh and/or be annoyed by it. I suppose I never saw it as something that advertised itself as working in the first place.

Oh, totally. Like when music notes are used as decoration, but they're facing the wrong way.

I went to the funeral and Boss kind of freaked out but then he seemed to be fine with me being there. Of course, today is the day that three blocks in Ann Arbor lost power and one of our tenants is ON that block. Which is what he was freaking out about, but Co-Worker took care of it best she could as it was a power company thing.

Boss gave a eulogy and it was beautiful. I was goon until the bagpiper started and then total water works.

I figure if he's mad I was gone for the day, he can take a vaca day away from me. I feel good that I went and represented our comapny that his grandfather was an investor in.
