What if your toaster doesn't have numbers? Does each notch represent a minute?

In January 2014, we changed buildings at work. There was a lot of relocating going on, and the new site had to take down offices and supply rooms to accommodate additional cubes. For the entire first year here, I thought the maintenance people were continually working on a cube near mine. About a month or so ago, I realized the "drill" they were using turned out to be an electric pencil sharpener.

I'm not sure who should be more embarrassed, me for thinking it was a drill for over a year, me for learning that people still use normal pencils, or the person that uses said pencil.
