One problem piano technician spice seem to have is coming to grips with the concept that, while you may both be in the same room and your alleged significant other is speaking, _you_ may not be listening. they don't realise that hearing and listening are entirely different things. They don't seem to realise that eye contact must be made before any hope of communication. This seems to be because we technicians have cultivated our powers of concentration to the task at hand to such a high degree. What chance do the dulcet tones of your beloved spouse have in getting through to you who all day have to (and are being paid to) ignore vacuums, TVs, radios, air conditioners, traffic, pets, rug rats, construction, bad flourescent ballasts, conversations, dishwashers, etc., etc., etc.???
