A Play
Setting- Any small private liberal arts college. One that people like me could not afford to go to when we were going to school and had to settle for seven years of state school.
Location- A small but friendly Help Desk attached to the 24/7 computer lab complete with free printing for all.
Characters-
Me: Lowly help desk manager. Somehow keeps friendly attitude despite years of tech support experience.
Awesome Help Desk Student: Unshakable undergrad, capable of handling dozens of MPM (Morons Per Minute).
Some Douchebag: Hip-looking, sallow-eyed loser. Obviously puts higher priority in clothing choice than bathing habits.
Curtain Rises.
Some Douchebag- "Do you have any computer paper I could have?"Me- "You could go to the bookstore and maybe buy some."
Some Douchebag- "Yeah, but that's expensive."
Me-"So you'd rather just steal it from me? We have to pay for that you know."
Help Desk Student- "For a cheaper alternative you could shop at any of the large discount office supply stores nearby."
Some Douchebag- [walks away dejectedly... likely to come back and steal paper from the printer trays later anyway]
End.
Lesson- If you're going to an expensive college and can already afford a computer, printer, and ink/toner for said printer; please come up with a creative story to get the jaded help desk people to give you free paper you don't deserve.
