16. A certain individual (whom shall be nameless) left a resume for Mary to
consider. Weeks later, he calls and wants it back. Mary tells him she'll
try to find it. He then calls again saying he needs it by 4 o'clock.
17. The user has been whining about getting a new computer for weeks, so we
finally give her a new (at the time) DX2/66 tower unit. She comes back
a bit later and asks that we take the "box" away. None of her friends
have a "box", she explains, and she'd rather we put it somewhere else.
I go to her desk and discover the "box" is the new tower unit, sitting
under her desk out of her way. As patiently as possible, I explain to
her that that is her computer (that the monitor is not) and if we took
it away, she couldn't do anything. She glares at the box balefully for
a moment, and then turns to me and says morosely "But it gave me a run
in my nylons! I can't have that!" As calmly as possible, I said nothing
and just left.
