Continuum2012/I



Manager Duncan:
Sadler, do you have any idea why all of the network passwords aren't working?

Alec Sadler:
Oh, yeah, sorry, I forgot to tell you about that. Um, I had to flash the router with OpenWRT in order to put up a new firewall.

Manager Duncan:
And, why did you do that?

Alec Sadler:
Well, um, actually you'll be happy to know that I recalibrated the network so that 46% of the customers can now use the automated checkout system. That'll save on labor costs by 15% and decrease customer wait times by a minute and 30 seconds on average.

Manager Duncan:
Is that right.

Alec Sadler:
Yeah, and you don't have to do sales reports anymore; it's all automated now.

Manager Duncan:
No... sales reports.

Alec Sadler:
Nope, poof, gone! Straight to head office. In fact, the efficiency of the system as a whole is nearly tripled; it's 256% to be exact.

Manager Duncan:
Okay. Sadler, here's what's gonna happen: first, you're gonna get me a coffee; then you're going to undo all this mumbo jumbo. None of this was even approved by head office.

Alec Sadler:
This'll save the company money!

Manager Duncan:
[patronizing] Look, I know what it's like to be young and ambitious and think I have the answers to everything, but you can't go messing with the system because you think you have a better way of doing things.

Alec Sadler:
But I'm telling you...

Manager Duncan:
[firmly] No look, I'm telling you to reset the network to the way that it was and do the job that I hired you to do! I can un-hire you just as easily. Oh, and that coffee? Make it black.
