Heh, brilliant.
Reminds me a fair bit of Bob Howard and Capital Laundry Services
You had me at "…make the Cray look like a Trash-Eighty…"!
Technician Downs; first line of defence against E-AIDS.
Now I want to see some of those scripts :)
"Hello, tech support? I think my PC is infected with a virus from Mars. Again."
"How do you know it's from Mars?"
"It asked me if I could give it the phone number of the guy at NASA who drives the Curiosity rover. When I said no it started to sulk."
"Have you tried rebooting the computer?"
"I tried to, but the keyboard grew spider legs and ran away."
"Where is it now?"
"Just a minute, I'll check … It's humping the aspidistra in our break room."
"Er … are you sure that's an aspidistra? We did have a plant SCP reported missing this morning…"
You forgot to cover where they'll be placed in relation to all the weird shit the foundation has sitting around.
+1 though
It's funny, but it's way too informal to be an actual job orientation, and it sounds like the speaker is talking to a bunch of junior high kids instead of people with multiple computer science degrees. (And who goes to a job orientation wearing a shirt with mustard stains on it?)
This is an accurate and complete transcript of my "orientation" at a tech support call center in 1996. There were five of us starting that day, all in shirt and tie except for the one guy in khakis and a polo. I remember thinking that he was too informal for a first day. Turns out, I was wrong. The speaker (our section lead) was wearing a T-shirt for a band named "Satan's Disciples", black flip-flops, and jeans so raggedy that I can also tell you he wore red boxers.
"This is where you sit. Don't use the red chairs, they suck. That's Dave. The bathroom is over there. Here's your script books. Don't cuss, the boss likes to piggy-back and you'll get a write-up if you cuss. Do any of you smoke? Dave is always holding."
Dave was relatively professional-looking. He really needed to do laundry, but his t-shirt was funny and I can't tell you anything about his underwear. None of us bothered with the dress code on day 2.
What's my point? "Informal" is relative, and this tale falls well above my personal threshold of realistic characterization. Your mileage may vary.
