Six Easy Steps for Getting Free Help with your Computer.

[OldEngineer]

This little section is a rough draft of something I'm working on.
Comments/suggestions?

1. Ask a Millennial for help with wide, worried eyes. Practice as needed.
2. Wait for said Millennial to discreetly roll his/her eyes.
3. Then quickly say “I was just trying to befriend Agnus on the Facebook. She’s …” ( and from here on, just adlib about Agnus until the eye rolling begins again and our Millennial starts to get nervous). Be sure to accentuate the underlined words.
4. Once our Millennial is seated at your computer, feel free to do some errands. (Maybe run out for dinner).
5. When the work is done, be abundantly generous with your praise as she/he leaves.
6. Don’t tell too many people about this – they might catch on.

LOL, I love it, OldE. Once when I was still working at the University, a co-worker asked me how to do something in the email program we had. I said I didn't know but that the hallway was full of those college kids right then, so all she had to do was stick her head out her door and ask the very youngest looking student passing by how to do it. But make sure you ask the very youngest, I said; they know the most!
