Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 3:38 pm"Hello." Amanda said as she waddled into the room.
Re: Setup
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 3:50 pm"Ah, Amanda, was it?"
Re: Setup
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 4:02 pm"Still is. I cam by to see if I could help you with getting settled in."
Re: Setup
Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2011 4:47 pm"Oh, I wouldn't want anyone in your delicate condition to overtax themselves."
Re: Setup
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:29 am"I was talking about helping you with the A/V equipment, not carrying boxes up to your office."
Re: Setup
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:50 am"Ah, of course. I'm afraid I'm at a bit of a loss here..."
Re: Setup
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 12:58 am"Its really quite simple." Amanda said with a smile "They designed the interface for Liberal Arts majors."
Re: Setup
Posted: Sat Dec 24, 2011 1:29 am"That entirely depends on when you got your degree in liberal arts."
Re: Setup
Posted: Sun Dec 25, 2011 10:41 pm"This is true, but it really is fairly easy to learn." Amanda replied.
Re: Setup
Posted: Sun Dec 25, 2011 10:44 pm"Show me, then."
Re: Setup
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 12:57 am"Ok." Amanda said, starting up the screen.
Re: Setup
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 2:22 amRoland looked, getting progressively more frustrated as Amanda went on.
Re: Setup
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 2:31 am"What is the problem?"
Re: Setup
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 2:42 am"How did you get the picture up there on the screen."
Re: Setup
Posted: Mon Dec 26, 2011 10:21 pm"This machine is connected to the scree by cables." Amanda said "It lets you see what is going on on this screen."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 12:47 am"But I thought the picture was in THIS computer?"
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 12:53 am"The computer shows its picture on two screens." Amanda explained "Think of it as being like a projector."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Dec 27, 2011 1:10 pm"This seems needlessly complicated. We didn't have anything like this when I was going to school, and we learned just fine."
Re: Setup
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:26 am"Yes, but we aren't allowed to beat recalcitrant pupils." Amanda pointed out.
Re: Setup
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:36 am"Do some of them a lot of good, wouldn't you say?"
Re: Setup
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:38 am"My mom was more of a fan of time outs and stern talking to's."
Re: Setup
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:49 am"Doesn't help the knowledge through."
Re: Setup
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 12:41 pm"No, but it does help with a lack of cooperation or motivation." Amanda said "this does help with learning, since not everyone absorbs information well through lectures."
Re: Setup
Posted: Wed Dec 28, 2011 12:54 pm"You're suggesting I should put my students in time-out," he said, rather incredulously.
Re: Setup
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 2:13 am"Not at all." Amanda said "Merely pointing out that there are alternatives to beatings"
Re: Setup
Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2011 2:28 am"I've never trusted that research, honestly."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:34 am"Are you also a fan of humoral theory?" Amanda asked.
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:37 am"That's pretty much been supplanted, though, like everything else, there are grains of truth in it. Some of which are ignored by your modern doctors."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 12:51 am"Oh trust me." Amanda said "They're still into bleeding."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:05 am"Who's the 'they' we're talking about?"
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:42 am"Doctors."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:46 am"Who still practices blood-letting? I was informed that was very much a no now."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:59 am"You'd think that wouldn't you." Amanda said "But how else do you explain their passion for doing 'blood tests' at every opportunity?"
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 1:55 pm"It's a cult."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 6:00 pm"Also possible." Amanda said, giggling a little.
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 6:49 pm"A cult, favoring one of the humors over the other three. You never see them taking phlegm samples."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 9:28 pm"Not unless you have something really disgusting going on."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 10:44 pm"Things have gotten much less disgusting over the years."
Re: Setup
Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2012 11:00 pm"For the most part."
