Do you have your original windows installation CD? Uh huh. A boxsomewhere, huh? Well, at this point I’m going to advise you to go getthat… Uh huh. Uh huh. Well, that willbe difficult. Yes. Well, I’d advise you to crawl then. That’s whythey call it a crawlspace. (TO KID) He’s going to be a while. Ah. Ifeel sorry for the civilians, kid. Really I do. They don’t know howto get on the Internet, they don’t know why they want to get onto the Internet, they don’t even know whatthe internet is. They just want to be on it. So they pop down toFuture Shop and buy the most overpriced piece of crap the salesman cansoak them for, and suddenly they realize they’re lost in the middle ofthe dark continent of technology, with only me as their guide. I’mtheir shaman. In ancient time people couldn’t control the weather, sothey called the Shaman. Now people can’t control their computers sothey call me. I could tell ‘em to blow smoke up their USB port andthey’d do it. Hey! Don’t touch that! That’s my Dilbert deskcalender. You go looking through the cartoons for tomorrow, today,then how will you find the strength to go on tomorrow morning when yousit down to lead Joe Moron through cleaning the porno out of hisInternet Explorer History cache before his wife gets home? Jeez! Havesome discipline. (TO PHONE) Yes. Hello, I’m still here. You haveit? Excellent. Alright, now, are you in front of the computer? Good. Now read me the name of the thingee that you double-click on toget your email. Outlook Express? Good. Take the mouse and doubleclick on that. No, it’s not going to cut us off. I know we’re on thephone, but we don’t have to actually connect to the internet to changeyour settings, it will give you an error message.
Yes. Please calm down. I told you it would give an error message. It’s not a personal affront sir, it’s just a message. Just click“cancel”. Ok, good. Now, click on Tools… now go down to Accounts andclick. Now click on Mail, then the blue text, then properties…
What? No. “Tools”… It’s at the top. Yes. Click on that. No, clickon it. What do you mean? Office? No, I didn’t want you to runOffice, I said Outlook Express. No, Microsoft is a company, not a…What? Illegal instruction? Wow, Office must be pooched. No, youhaven’t broken any laws… it’s just crashed because… What you need to… No… don’t unplug it… just…(punches the chair)Ok, ok… well, uh… plug it back in then…… No, I won’t tell the police…
(to Kid) He unplugged it. We are dealing with a serious 12 o’clockflasher here kid. You know what a 12 o’clock flasher is don’t you? Every appliance in the house is always flashing 12 o’clock becausethey’re too stupid to set it. There’s no hope teaching a 12 o’clockflasher anything. Time to move to plan b.
(to customer) Sir? Sir. Do you have a child around the house? You do? How old is she? Nine? Ok, could you put her on please? Thank you.
(to kid) Check this out.
(to customer) Hi there, who am I speaking with? Beth? What gradeare you in, Beth? Grade 4? Wow. Do you like school? Good for you,Beth. Ok, Beth, here’s the thing. Your daddie really needs hisOutlook Express configured to use the 3rd party dialer instead of LANor whatever it’s set to now… yeah, could you change it for him? ThanksBeth… oh and while you’re at it, you wanna check that his smtp addressis correct? Ok, thanks Beth. Oh and Beth? If I were you, the nexttime his computer stops ‘working’, tell your daddy it’s broken and togive it to you to play with, then send him out to buy an iMac. It’s acomputer especially built for idio… for mommies and daddies. Ok Beth,bye bye.
Hangs up
(to Kid) That poor poor poor computer. God, it just tears me upthat people like that are allowed to own a computer. It just kills me.
(LOOKS AT WATCH) Ok look, I’ll leave you to it. Go ahead and takeyour first call. Get dirty. I’m going for a smoke, but if anyone asks,I’m taking a dump. Good luck. And remember, you are God. You are theall seeing, all knowing digital Shaman of the global village. If youdon’t know what to do, blame Microsoft and send them back to the storethey bought it from. You’ll be alright. Just keep your head up, yourmouse arm loose. Oh, and stay away from the porn sites between calls,they check.
