Oh, she noticed.  There are those moments of mild annoyance: "Maaan!" 
and maybe even a desk slap.  Moments worthy of a 4 letter word, and then 
the times like that, the jaw dropping sock in the gut feeling.

I was an EE working on a radar system, she was a computer scientist 
doing coding.  She knew I did something bad by my reaction.  The lovely 
Ms. Hsi's response was something like, "That's what happens when you 
give an engineer root."  With a laugh, I might add.
