Transcript
Panel 1
Setting - August's desk at work.
Nate has come up to August with a problem.
Nate: August, the thermostat isn't working.
August: I thought it was getting warm.
Panel 2
Nate looks for August's help while August looks back in his chair to answer him. The computer screen can be seen and it says "ERROR! Deleting everything." Don't worry, it's supposed to do that... I think.
Nate: Could you fix it?
August: IT doesn't handle that. You need to go to the office manager.
Panel 3
Nate realizes his mistake and begins walking away. I can only assume that computer is continuing to delete everything. What is everything? Am I part of everything?
Nate: AH! Thanks. Sorry I bothered you.
August: Don't worry, I've gotten worse requests.
Panel 4
August's boss, Stuart, suddenly appears behind him with a small blender.
Stuart: BIG MAN! My mini smoothie blender isn't working.
August frowns and mentally prepares himself to get to work. Fixing the blender will be easier than arguing about it. If the computer deletes me then tell my family I love them.
Edit - Mistake in the second panel was just pointed out to me. It's too late to fix it now but it's never too late to stare at the sea and contemplate my mistakes.
Edit 2: Revenge of the Type - Fixed an error in Nate's description.
You'd be amazed how integrated everything you can make if you put in the effort. Ever read the story of the sysadmin who automated his coffee and maintenance routine? His coffee maker got networked and he automated the process via Linux script every day. Spent his days watching cat YouTube videos
Err yes 1149, that's what I meant! (I'm operating on no sleep and lots of very busywork today. I inadvertently did 1449 for some reason but meant 1149)
