I'm sorry your machine is getting a checkup and you are feeling lost. I say, fire up the other one so it can feel some love too! :)
Ok, the girl wasn't too smart. To work there, she's probably related to the owner and he just feels sorry for her. I sure as heck hope she doesn't work on the machines!
What you should have done is said.....my machine is right here on the counter, don't you see it? Then start petting "air" lol OR....you could have said.....a month ago and let her go looking for it. lol Ok, that's mean........hehe
