Advanced Computers #3, Wednesday Afternoon 7/26

The computer lab is meeting outside today under a tent with Help Desk emblazoned across the front. Each student has their own workstation complete with phone, toolbox and nifty pocket protector.

"As you can see by my mad sign making skillz, we're going to be manning the help desk today." Abby smiled. "As geeks there is a 99.9% chance that someone is going to ask you to fix their computer. Seriously guys, it's going to happen. You need to know your stuff. Not only how to fix technology...but how to deal with people who don't know how to use it."

"Three rules you have to remember." Abby paced and raised her fingers as she counted them off. "One, not everyone is a geek so remember to tone down the techspeak. Two, people will do incredibly stupid things to their computer, try not to cry over the phone when they tell they've never done a virus scan. Three, the first response is always reboot. It doesn't matter that the problem couldn't be solved by that, it's always the first response."

"Okay, the phone lines are open and people can walk in with a problem. Remember the rules, be polite and come to me if there's a problem you can't fix."

[ooc: Post is up and ready to play! I've got an early appointment so I won't be around till later in the day, but you should all be able to play with each other. Have fun!]

"Oooh, I've had that problem before. Uh, not that I look up things like that on the internet. I mean, it's not bad to of course, if you're doing it for a good reason. Like a workshop. Yeah." If Becky heard any banging noises, it was just Sam hitting his head against the desk. "Um, so you should be able to click on that message."

"It's asking me about my preferences. Why isn't 'male' an option?" she asked.

"They're not that kind of preferences," Sam replied. "There should be a box at the bottom that'll let you turn off the filtering and look at all the sex stuff you want."

Becky found the box and happily clicked her filters away. "Thaaaaaank you," she drawled. "Who am I speaking with?"

"Um." Dean was the good one at making up names, not him. "Sam Winchester. Glad I could help."

"Sam, this is your Sex Ed teacher," Becky said, pleased. "You'll get recognition in class tomorrow. Bye bye!" She hung up.

Sam looked down at the desk and wondered if he could hit himself hard enough to be unconscious until Friday.
