About Me
- Glenda Larke
- Malaysia
- My life has been described by one of my editors as “impossibly exotic” – although really it is not my life, but me, that’s the exotic. I’m the uprooted plant, the exotic who doesn’t belong, always living in someone else’s backyard...
An Australian living in Malaysia. Writer, traveler, environmentalist. Author of The Isles of Glory trilogy (The Aware, Gilfeather, The Tainted); The Mirage Makers trilogy (Heart of the Mirage, The Shadow of Tyr, Song of the Shiver Barrens) and, writing as Glenda Noramly, a stand-alone book Havenstar. The latest trilogy is called The Watergivers in Australia and the Stormlord trilogy elsewhere: THE LAST STORMLORD, STORMLORD RISING, STORMLORD'S EXILE

I saw that somewhere before, but in English. It is funny, and oh so true.
Yes, there is an English version, but I don't think it quite as well done. This is the original, I think. Norwegian.
If they were going for a truly realistic depiction though, they would have left him on hold for an hour or so, then passed him along to various members of the team...

Having been in IT when personal computers were just starting to proliferate business, I can really empathise with both parties in this brilliant and funny sketch.
This is what you get when you discourage initiative.
I sympathise - I feel the same when I'm faced with a new version of Windows.
