You have proven yourself to be the most malicious,

There was a brief discussion in Chinese as they looked the
row of glove boxes over, then the one who spoke better
English pointed at the S, M, and L on the boxes and said,
"Start, Middle, Last".

*sigh*

No, you're fine.

IT did some kind of *cough*  upgrade to my computer so it could play
nice with their new network stuff, and in the upgrade they did
something to make Agent unhappy.  It pops the .sig in wherever the
curser is as well as at the bottom.  I forgot to check for it when I
posted this.  I guess I need to reinstall.

Someone said to me in a conversation the other day "Look at your face".
When I pointed out that this was impossible without a mirror, he got annoyed
with me and claimed that it was a figure of speech.  If it is a figure of
speech, I've no idea what it means.  I actually thought he was being quite
rude.

Opinions?

Context? "Look at" is often used in the sense of "consider".

He was pointing out that I sometimes wore a particular expression on my face
which he took exception to.  I can't see my own face, so I was unaware of
it.  I assumed he meant "look at" in the literal sense.

Even if he did mean "consider", I'm not sure how to consider my own face!

  it's rather amazing to see yourself on camera for a period of time
and to watch your own mannerisms.

  most digital cameras these days are also video cameras, but
they still cost something but perhaps you have friends who have
one who will take some vids of you as you are interacting with
others...
