in a meeting this morning i was discussing potential technological upgrades to some of our business systems when i began lamenting the luddite-like resistence to change exhibited by many of the "decision makers." while searching for the proper diction to illustrate my point, i resorted to an age-old metaphor: "...falls upon deaf ears..." which i proceded to state directly to a woman equipped with two hearing aids. brilliant.
she did a remarkable job of suppressing her surprise, but i caught a brief flash of it in her eyes. it was SOOOOO freudian, 'cause i had spotted the devices when we were introduced and mentally-noted the clear tubes and how much cooler and smaller they were than my grandfather's. oh well, i'm sure she doesn't think i'm too much of an idiot...
