This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed

from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to

say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing

the Word Perfect organization for "Termination without Cause".

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now

I know why they record these conversations!):

Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?"

Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."

Operator: "What sort of trouble??"

Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words

went away."

Operator: "Went away?"

Caller: "They disappeared."

Operator: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"

Caller: "Nothing."

Operator: "Nothing??"

Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."

Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"

Caller: "How do I tell?"

Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"

Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"

Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"

Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I

type."

Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"

Caller: "What's a monitor?"

Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV.

Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"

Caller: "I don't know."

Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the

power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"

Caller: "Yes, I think so."

Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's

plugged into the wall.

Caller: "Yes, it is."

Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there

were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"

Caller: "No."

Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find

the other cable."

Caller: "Okay, here it is."

Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into

the back of your computer."

Caller: "I can't reach."

Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"

Caller: "No."

Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way

over??"

Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's

because it's dark."

Operator: "Dark??"

Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is

coming in from the window."

Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."

Caller: "I can't."

Operator: "No? Why not??"

Caller: "Because there's a power failure."

Operator: "A power... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked

now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your

computer came in??"

Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."

Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just

like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought

it from."

Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"

Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."

Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"

Operator: "Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer

so as not to taint or clog up the other thread' date=' i wanted to address a couple of points here instead.[/quote']

Good call.

i know its a bit late but couldn't you have just gone out for a little while and taken it easy on the drinking?

i don't know, have they set a date?

Because there's more demand for a skatepark than there is for a dry ski slope cloud you bloody tool - you don't see misunderstood skiers trying to use Windmill brae as a piste do you?

EDIT:

The ski-slope at Garthdee isn't not working because there isn't demand for it' date=' it's not working because to use the new Alpine slope you have to have reached a certain level, to use the older dry slope to get to that level you need to pay for lessons, because they won't just let you practise on your own, lessons are quite expensive - ergo the Ski slope is out of use.

Make the skatepark a non-profit facility, so that kids can afford to use it, and you may have a chance at solving the problem of skaters in town.[/color']

don't get me started on the dryslope.

bottom line is the council can't run anything.

no much wonder they're losing money if they close the dryslope in the evenings during the school holidays, what do people with jobs do??

also, this thread was supposed to be about sean but it's just turned into a debate about the council, skating, etc

anyone know when / where this is?

i'd just like to point out that it wasn't sean skateboarding that caused the accident. although to be fair people wouldn't have been there if no one skated there. i used to skate there myself and there is no danger of falling off the wall when skating, unless you're a bit mental and try to do stuff off the wall.

what? is cky coming to aberdeen????

and if so, when, where?
