Thanks for coming up.
That's what the tech guy's here for, ma'am. If you can just hop on up for a minute, I'll take a little look-see.
Great, thanks. They said there was supposed to be an icon for the office supply management system, or tracking system or whatever it is, here on the desktop, but I don't see it. Maybe I have something set wrong, or--
Should be able to tell with just a little old peek-a-boo. Let's see, hmm, well, I can see one problem instantly.
Really?
Yes, ma'am. The photo on your wallpaper is just too darn adorable.
Oh. Yeah. That's my niece, and my sister's puppy. I got in trouble for the last picture I had up.
Got a little one about that age myself. They grow up so fast. Okay, let's see. So, problem number two is, you have your entire computer laid out on your desktop. Files go in folders, files go in folders. Repeat after me.
Ha, ha.
Seriously. Repeat after me. It's the only way you'll remember. Files go in folders. Go on.
Um, files go in folders.
Alrighty, your screen looks neater already! So, let's wade through all these icons, it's no wonder you can't find anything and... there she is! Your SNM was hiding down here in the corner.
Oh, thanks. I had no idea.
Well, that's why my personal root-script is, files go in folders. Now, to get you logged in. Here we are. You should get a confirmation email in 24 to 48 hours, and then you're good to go, go, go!
Okay, thanks.
By the way, all these icons, you're not looking at anything that you shouldn't here, right?
No, of course not.
Because, you know, speaking as the tech guy, that would be what they call 'reportable.' Any non-work-related software downloaded at all?
Nope, I don't think so.
Because the way it works is, if you have anything on your machine that's a no-no, the standard, well, procedure if you will, is a little donation to the tech guy's care-and-feeding fund.
Huh. No, I don't think so.
Okay. Well, you know, our lives are the sum of the decisions we make. You make your decisions, you live with the consequences. So, anything coming to mind that you don't want getting back to the folks upstairs? Up to you.
Um, no. I don't think so. But, um, thanks?
