I cannot fathom how some people think/don't think. I had to introduce a new process to someone because the previous one they were using simply didn't work. I was worried about the more difficult steps of the process, so I wanted to do a walk-through to get the user comfortable.
The difficult spots? Flew through them without asking a single question, and did it perfectly.
The easy stuff...like "pick this printer instead of that one"...completely stopped her in her tracks. Stumped. Deer in the headlights.
It's probably best that I decided not to become a high school chemistry and physics teacher.
this is a surprisingly common phenomenon. Some feel that this has its basis in the "chunking" perspective of thought, where large concepts are grouped under a mental heading, but fine details are lost.

Much like my clothes.

Part of my problem with Ren Faires is finding someone to go with. Hoping to take the SO at least once, but therein lies the flaw of long distance.
I highly recommend it. Lots of fun for young couples. I would also recommend you specifically look up the strange musical instruments, take lessons, and torture your students with impromptu performances after and maybe during tests.

why ogle when you can jump right in? That's what wicked winter ren faire is for!Somehow I've managed to never go to one, despite it being something I would probably have some fun doing.Freehold has it right: It's a place where people dress in silly costumes to pay 3-4 times what items should cost, eat barely-recognizable food with silly names, and get schnockered while ogling cleavage.
But having written that, I cannot say it's not fun.
Er... reasons...
Of course they were hers, and her boyfriend started gushing about how awesome her eyes were, and I concurred...
...at which point GothBard barked from across the store, "Hey! Pay attention to ME!"
It was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but I got thoroughly chastised for fawning over a younger woman with GothBard in the room. The young woman did not help matters in the least when she responded with, "Oh, I'm sure we could share."
Hilarious, but no. I cannot dive into more than one pair of cleavage at Ren Faires.

If I could get us both in the same state during a Ren Faire, I totally would. But time constraints around vacations exist.

Ah, but those reasons would not apply to me, for I am in a different situation.
Or those reasons would be applied to me by two women instead of one...which would be worse...
So confusing.

Before, of course.
*AFTER* the corset my eyes weren't doing a heck of a lot of wandering...

I like the idea of strange musical instruments, cleavage and getting drunked. I don't know whether the swords on offer would be great or horrid, though, and no flaming way am I paying $150 for a tankard, unless it's an actual Tankard of Inexhaustable Stout.
We found some eskrima sticks at HEMA, so we eskrHEMAd. It was a lot of fun.

Your perception of what is difficult and what isn't might vary from estimates of others.
In that particular case - if the printers aren't given names that are easily discernible from each other (like "Use This Printer For Task X" and "NOT THIS ONE!") then it's not easy to recognize which one you need to use without a long period of use imprinting the meaningless manufacturer's codes.

I would be like so awkward if anyone asked to take pictures with me. I don't think I've taken pictures with strangers before and definitely not in a corset(don't like them, but I read stories on how they're uncomfortable, deform your rib cage etc).
Now maybe if you were an old granny trying to take a picture with me, I wouldn't mind too much but other then that, I'm body shy.

My former D&D group had someone who to learnt Kali, another who took up archery, and I'm the nerdy wizard with no weapon proficiencies whom if confronted with a fight, would bravely run away
I'll pass on strange musical instruments and drunkenness...
Does that mean I'll get to ogle more attractive cleavages?

£30 for all 3 days, although my friend (well friends dad actually) had 4 free tickets. So I ended up with 3 unused tickets.Oh wow...a music festival full of metal...*starts headbanging*
How much were the tickets again? Though I think it'd be the plane tickets that'd burn a hole in my pocket.
I'm jealous... It costs like $80+ minimum for a concert lasting 4h here. My BF and I went distant worlds concert the last time it was in Singapore.

…ask our resident historian...
*Looks around for said historian*
>_>
<_<
…
*Points turtle-foot at himself with a quizzical expression on his face*
Well, I'm honored ^^
Though in truth I can't call myself anything more then an aspiring or failed historian.
Thank for the vote of confidence though.
*Give Mort lots of nuzzles and back-rubs*
...if TV was on it'd be nature documentaries...
Probably my single most stable tv-watching (well, aside from cartoons) since I was a very small turtle.
Yea, I like my critters and creatures...and its the perfect hangover TV ^^'The funny thing is I don't watch sports =) No interest.
Eh.
I've found myself watching Formular 1 or large Athletics competitions (IAAF Golden League) once in a while, but I mostly steer clear of sports....MTG...
Sigh!!!
Still trying to sell off the collection I amassed during my last bout of that particular sickness (which is what...around the 2010?!)I was discharged yesterday and am back at work today!
*Gives TS a congratulatory turtle-hug and back-pats*

Look, my brother is the one watching History Channel. I'm the one who sits around watching animal planet and national geographic. All those fluffy critters!
Oh my! You have a bassinet! So cool!
*bats at it as well*
My BF said my posterior isn't really much to look at.

Hey, Kjel. What's up?
Not much.
Mostly just Working, with a light sprinkling of Mope-ing and Stress.
Heading for the sheets, as I'm exhausted today...
Hope you're feeling better from the weekend's stomach troubles?
So much rain.
Yeah. All's well. Good night, Kjel.
*Tiredly waves Nighty night from beneath his covers*
Looks like Wrath of the Righteous will be our next debacle.
Paladins need not apply.

I can't recall specific examples, but I've definitely had experiences of "Wait, you think this is the easy part and that is the hard part?!"
I was thinking of a paladin in satin pajamas.
But, a Warpriest in pajamas is also good.
I don't eat them either.I honestly don't eat pop tarts, sorry!I'm kind of upset now...
Well I already knew you had problems.
Also Tag out for John. I swear we have this down to a science.
That is true I am not a fan of my own problems. Can't argue with that.
