Ah darn it!
I have to help someone with his task and it brought back memories.


"Done?"
"Ya"
"Ok, release the program and prepare the transport form"

[1 hr later, I caught him in the process of testing the program]
"Done?"
"Not yet"
"Ok... Go se10. Release the lower object. Ask Big Satan to release the upper object for you"

[1 hr later, I caught him in the process of testing the program]
"Done?"
"Ya"
"The upper object is not released yet! Send a mail to Big Satan. Ask him release the upper object. Do a screen capture. Print it out. Prepare the transport form. Ok?"
"Ok"

[1 hr later, I caught him staring at the screen]
"Done?"
"Ya"
"Have you done a screen capture?"
[He starts to get a screen capture]
"..."

[1 hr later, I caught him in the process of testing the program]
"Done?"
"Ya"
"Have you done printed the transport form?"
[He starts to print the transport form]
"..."
"Now listen..."
[Gave him instructions on transport form procedure]

[Next day, I caught him staring at his screen]
"Done?"
[Shows me an empty form]
"Go get Big Satan's signature. Go get Rama's signature. Then pass to the custodian. Ok?"
"Ok..."

[1 hr later, I caught him in the process of testing the program]
"Done?"
[Shows me a form with only Big Satan's signature]
"Go get Rama's signature"
[Leaves chair]
