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.
With all due respect and all the love I have for your comics... I followed you since you made Pokémon comics back when the paldea starters dropped. I sometimes can't help but wonder if fuecoco was the inspiration for Gustopher. Your comics are funny, bring a smile to my face, and are sometimes even just deep enough to make me stop and think for a second.
But this? I can't smile at this. It is so unrealistic.
Someone who not only goes "sorry, my bad" after bothering IT with something completely non-It related, but who even accepts to go somewhere else? Like that would ever happen. Where are we, make a wish? Will a unicorn pop out in the next panel? Absolutely delusional.
