Wayback Wednesday: He’ll figure it out
It’s a hot day, and the building where this IT pilot fish works has no air conditioning, although it’s quite cool and pleasant in his basement office-cum-workshop.
On the upper floors, however, the heat is starting to get to everyone. As fish finds out when he gets a call from a young guy in the marketing department: His screen’s just gone dead, and he’s on deadline.
Arriving in the open-plan office that this user shares with half a dozen others, he finds that there is some air movement from a floor fan.
It only takes fish a few seconds to diagnose the problem. But he figures he should lead the user to it gently.
Nice fan, fish says. Is it new?
