Humor
The end of the year is a good time to look back...and not take things too seriously. So here are a couple of humor items.
A Support Dialog Overheard (First Half Hour Not Recorded)
Customer: Okay, how do I do that?
Help Desk: I just told you that.
Customer: I don't understand.
Help Desk: Click the 'Go' button and your file will download.
Customer: (Long silence). It doesn't work. I can't find it.
Help Desk: Ok, let's take a new approach to this question. Do you have a Blockbuster video in your town?
Customer: (Brightening audibly) Why yes! Yes we do!
Help Desk: Good. Please write these instructions down then. I want to you get in your car and drive to the Blockbuster. Have that so far?
Customer: Yes, yes.
Help Desk: Ok, once you are there find the Drama Section. Got that?
Customer: D-r-a-m-a. Yes, got it!
Help Desk: Okay. In the Drama Section, look for a section marked 'Detective Movies'.
Customer: Yes, detectives, good.
Help Desk: Okay, once you find that...RENT A FREAKING CLUE! (Click).
Now aren't you glad you have Oracle Support. I've never once told a client that.
