Baby-sitting myself

[azurelunatic]

How the *hell* do I manage to keep N% supervised while she's programming?

Coding, sure, that's easy. Have her out, and have a trace monitor out so "I" can snap back when we're interrupted.

But when working in a group? And trying to explain our thought-processes to them while we haven't quite got it yet?

Oy.

There's a reason I hit the whiteboard so much: I can draw what they're talking about, and not have to use the words.

The trouble is this: when I'm not her, I communicate just fine, in complete sentences. I am highly literate, and can bring about communication between parties that never suspected they could communicate.

But when she's out, all bets are off.

And unless we come up with some way to handle this, I may wind up in the unenviable position of having to introduce her to my co-workers...
