Generally Inhospitable

ACT II

RYAN [Calling HP]: Hi, my case was refered to the "Quality Department" and I was supposed to get a call in 24-48 hours, and I haven't heard anything.

VISHNU: Ok, let me put you on hold for 45 minutes.

RYAN: Wait, no!!!!

[45 minutes later]

RYAN [singing]: ...don't you know, things will change, things will go your way, if you hooooold on, for one more day, things will g--

VISHNU: Thank you for calling HP Technical support. How can I help you?

RYAN: I was on hold for 45 minutes!!! Where's my computer???? Let me talk to your supervisor.

VISHNU: Ok.

SUPERVISOR: Hi, we don't know where your computer is.

RYAN: What?

SUPERVISOR: Because your parents are dumb and sent it back without an order number, it is lost. I referred the case to my CASE MANAGER and he will call you in 24-48 hours. Oh, and he doesn't work on the weekend so he'll call you back on Tuesday, if you're lucky.

RYAN: I need my computer.

SUPERVISOR: I'm some guy working in India for $2 a day. I don't care. Plus, the CASE MANAGER is HP corporate and they'll have to look into it. I'm sorry, there is nothing that I can do.

RYAN: Ok. [Hangs up.] I am sad.

THE PIZZ: Don't be sad. The Pizz is here. The Civil Procedure professor that makes Discovery fun!

RYAN: Sorry, Pizz, I'm just not in the mood.

THE PIZZ: What about Interpleader? You like the interpleader?

RYAN: I don't even know what that is. *sigh* I'm just going to bed. G'night.

WTF is the interpleader? BTW, bummer that there is some Hindu god messing with your case.

You can't stop the bum rush.

Not sure why that came to mind, but I was compelled to write it and it's meant as a statement of support.
