You can't have people looking at this, okay?8:31Arrange your icons by name.8:33Whoa, whoa, no, no, I can't find anything.8:35What do you mean? It's alphabetical.8:37Oh man, I, I had everything exactly where I knew where it was.8:40I knew that th- th- our website, our website was at the very tip of the penis.8:44And now I don't know where anything is. How am I, you know, it's not that one, it's not that one anymore.8:49Well.8:49My, my Salesforce.com was on the right testicle.

You can't arrange my penis.8:59Oh my God. I tell you, every time I've called you tech support people, every fucking time, you guys, you guys do something entirely different, you know?9:05You don't fix the problem that I call about. You know, all I wanted was to get the website back.9:09That's all, but that's all I needed. Can you restore it? You, you said you took a picture of it.9:13Restore it.9:15Well, yeah, I guess. I mean, I could just make that the background for your desktop.9:20I don't care what you have to do. Whatever you got to do to get this thing back.9:23Honestly, that probably won't, won't solve the problem completely, but...9:26Well, if the icon's in the same spot, I'll be able to get to them.9:30All right, so this is worse.9:33Wait, that's-9:34I mean, that's just a picture on the desktop.9:35This is perfect, this is perfect. Hey, I got to get into my meeting, so, you know, I, I, yeah, this is great.9:40You good with it? 'Cause...9:41No, no, this is- this is fine. I can find everything.
