Not *quite* our status line

Welcome to IT Support.

All hell has currently broken loose. IT Support staff are currently attempting to answer your calls with one hand while fighting off demons with the other. There may therefore be a slight delay in answering your call.

Please state your login ID clearly in order that our demonic representatives are able to determine precisely how much service you are entitled to in exchange for your soul.

I just want to get it set to "If you have a mainframe or C*A* query, you've called the wrong extension. Hang up and try again. If you are not management or Office Support Unit personnel, hang up and see your OSU. No, we don't fix your passwords, see your manager. No, we don't fix your security tags, see your admin. If you're still listening, reboot the PC and see if the problem is still occurring."

If only people listened to such things, our incoming call volume would probably drop 75%.
