Huh. I can picture two of the gears turning in my head quite easily. Supposedly men are better at visualizing stuff like this.
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I didn't have a problem with it either.

Librarian Warlord
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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
But am I alone in not really being bothered by it?
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
I looked at some of those fabrics. Has Jilli seen this?
makes grabby hands
That would make a delightful skirt.
