T has a new room in the same suite of offices.
New to the room is a battery operated clock. The old clock was electric.
I've been distracted by the battery operated clock's tick..tick..tick..ticking away each second when the room gets quiet, usually when I am thinking.
Early in the session, I guess when I first notice it, she gets up and takes it down and places it on the other side of the room, where I can't hear it.
So, recently, after she asked me, in reference to what we were talking about, "How does that strike you?".
I had to think.
The clock started tick..tick..ticking.
I looked over at the clock.
She got up to move it.
It slipped from her grasp, slid down the wall, bounced off the cabinet/table right beside me, and to the floor.
She made sure I was okay, picked up the clock and moved it to the other side of the room.
As she sat back down, she said quietly "I asked 'How does that strike you' and I nearly struck you!"
We both burst out laughing!
I decided to get used to the ticking and not have her move it.

From an old thread. My story of how my T nearly "clocked" me after asking me "how does that strike you?".
