Gesture at Work

My colleague around the corner asked me today if I had any idea why her photocopies were coming out blank on the new copier. "Did you place the copies on the glass yourself?" I asked her. "Because on this new machine you don't put them on the left, but on the right." It is totally confusing and I'll confess that I made several blank copies on Friday and I'm sure I'll do it wrong some more before the week is out. I accompanied myself with what I call when I teach the old baroque one-two, a gesture on one hand (here, noting on the left) and another on the other hand (slightly more emphatic, to the right). Gesture, gesture everywhere.
