If you can call on an IT department for help with your
work difficulties, why can’t you have a life department on
standby to resolve your life
difficulties. I mean, those IT peeps are so damn useful, and patient too (bow down
to the geeks!) and I really think there’s a place for a team that can give you
expertise on far-reaching snafus on a daily basis. Like these:
“Hello, this is the Helpdesk. How can I assist you?”
“I can’t find my car keys!”
“Hold the line, I’ll run a search… OK, they’re on your desktop.”
“Thank you so much!”
“Hello, Helpdesk. What is your issue today?”
“My wardrobe has reached maximum capacity.”
“No problem, I’ll delete some expired items and create new
storage facilities.”
“Amazing! Thank you!”
“Hello, Helpdesk. What do you need help with?”
“My relationship has crashed and I can’t recover it.”
“Let me restore it from the back-up for you.”
“Perfect – thanks guys!”
“Welcome to the Helpdesk. What is your situation?”
“My boyfriend has denied me access, so I need to get my
permissions changed.”
“I see. [Silence.] Have you tried turning him off and turning
him on again?”
What do you think, guys? Could we get a kick-starter campaign
going for the Life Department? I’m pretty sure they’d never run out of
customers…
