"Right, can you give me your computer ID? That way I can look along with you."
"That's C1234567..."
"Alright, just a moment... ... ... ... Sir, it doesn't seem to find your computer... Are you sure you're either at the company or have a VPN connection?"
"Oh, no, I'm in the train, my laptop isn't on! You can still fix it, right?"
