Hi, I'm Trase and just joined at the suggestion of my friend [livejournal.com profile] danicia. I provide support to about 400 corporate users at the headquarters for a publishing firm.

I've had this same conversation with several users of late whilst visiting their PC to remove the spyware they've allowed onto their system.

User: Well you shouldn't be too upset by this stuff then, it's job security, right!?!

Trase: [continuing to focus on display, not turning to face user] Well, let me ask you this. If there was suddenly a large-scale outbreak of the measles, the plague, or Spanish Influenza, and you required medical attention, would you say the same thing to your doctor?

User: Of course not! My doctor is already plenty busy without having to deal with that kind of thing!

Trase: [turns to user, tilts head, raises eyebrows, and grimaces slightly]

User: [the obvious inference dawns on them slowly] ooohhhh....

I like to call moments like that "a Buddhist Moment of Enlightenment."

Love it.

I've been getting the job security comment a *lot* lately, although on far more issues then just spyware (my fault for being engaged in multiple projects.)

I've never heard an answer as good as this one. I might steal it.

Yes, I am going to definitely use that one. That's brilliant.

Next time I get that one, I'm going to use it.

'course, knowing my, I'll probably twist it into some smartass remark and get written up for it.
