When you get in I need your approval on something. Let me give you the
background story.
Once upn a time, Chris Wright's Xterminal developed demons which caused
it to become fuzzy and difficult to use. He came to the Sys Admin of the
land saying "Please give me something else now for my eyesight dost
become weary". The Admin decided to bestow upon Chris the Xterm of Ken
Smelcer who was off on a quest to change diapers. New Xterminals were
scheduled to arrive before Ken's return so no one would be without one.
The Admin said "make it so", and everyone else was busy so he moved it
himself. And Chris rejoiced. Meanwhile, the Evil Sorcerer of screwing up
shipments delayed the arrival of new Xterms until the following week.
This meant that Ken would be arriving today (Thursday) to find nothing
on his desk to work on. The Admin became angry and did battle with the
Evil Sorcerer to no avail. "I will ship them overnight when they are
available", the evil one consoled. But this still left the Admin with a
predicament for the next few days. He then developed a plan.
If he could swap the fuzzy Xterm with the one in use by the Contractors
of Digital, loan their Xterm to Chris, and then move Ken's Xterm back to
his desk, then all would be right with the kingdom again.
However the Admin would require the approval of his manager and the
manager of the Digital domain so that he could send any complaining
peasants to him.
So, can I swap Dave Goodall's Xterm with Chris's fuzzy one, loan
Dave's Xterm to Chris, and move Ken's Xterm back to his desk?
