Consultant/Insultant  

Ever want to throw your computer out the window?  In the past decade or so, most companies have become so technologically dependent, that when a glitch happens (i.e. the Internet’s down), managers and supervisors immediately envision Doomsday.

When we can’t access information – when the screen freezes – or – the site’s down or the networking won’t work---or the automatic stapler’s broken minutes before 75 booklets need to be stapled---- many of us have major meltdowns.

Dr Brian and I call these TIMs   (Techno-Induced Meltdowns).

Ever loan someone your computer and when you get it back, it’s not working?

 “What did you do this time? It was working just fine before you got your hands on it. What were you thinking?”

Try getting IT to examine a problem minutes before you’re ready to go home on Friday at 5 p.m. It’s like getting a hold of the Kremlin during a Borscht festival.

Banks are different, though.

Ever go into a bank and hear the teller say, “Our computers are down”?    And every time that has happened, the tellers hardly seem upset at all. They are masters of temperament and control.  

Their words, “You’ll have to come back later,” fall off their lips, like gumdrops.

How do they do it? Doesn’t it drive banks crazy that they have to send their customers home –- empty-handed --- without the information they came there for?

What’s their secret?

Why don’t they pound their hands on desk tops like normal people? Or scream down hallways, loud enough for the HR director to hear?
