John: Hey, yeah, so I'm new here and I'm not really sure-- Sollux: Captor, my name is Sollux Captor, and I guess you should probably get the ropes. John: You mean show me the ropes? Sollux: Heh, sure kid.
Wow, this guy sounds like he is TWICE the douchebag that Dave is. You really hope he isn't actually your supervisor, that he is only here to fill you in and leave. God, it's like he isn't even trying to be particularly civil; that smile is just so fake, your grandmother could see how fake it is... and she's dead!
Sollux: So. Basically, your job is to answer the phone and ask people if they tried turning their computer off and on again. Then if that didn't solve the problem, you need to walk them through checking if everything is actually plugged in. Sollux: We don't usually need to go past that part, but when it happens it's never as simple as checking the RAM. John: Uh... Sollux: Are you prepared for such mundane work and menial tasks that will make you question why you paid to go to school for this? Sollux: Are you ready to sit for possibly hours with nothing to do just to be rung up and shouted at for not fixing a problem immediately as if you were psychic and already knew the problem before they even called? John: Um... sure, I guess. But hey could you show me around first before I get the pep talk? John: My name is John, by the way. It's nice to meet you.
It wasn't very nice to meet him. It was exact opposite of nice. Your only hope is to charm him into thinking you're not some slouch and you're willing to be friendly. That is, if Captor can slow down the train delivering the stick up his ass. Sheesh!
