Chapter 6
So vat is on your mind zees week,
Meester Server?
I just don’t feel like anyone
wants to listen to me.
Dr. Zigmund: Ahhh, yes. So many of my patients feel zees way. It is a common
problem. But in many cases, it is zimply just in your mind.
Server: But in my case, it’s true! I mean, everyone wants to talk to me... I’ve got
plenty of people saying things to me all the time...
Dr. Zigmund: Zee? Zat is very important, to have friends that are zere for you.
Server: But that’s the thing. When I start to say something back, they barely listen.
In fact, it’s been getting a lot worse just lately.
Dr. Zigmund: Tell me more about... “lately.”
Server: Well, I used to say a lot of things. Like <html><head><title>Hello!</
title></head></html>. But now, if I say anything more than “1012”, I get
complaints. Nobody will let me get more than a word or two into a conversation.
Dr. Zigmund: And you zay you have more to zay?
Server: Yes! I have much more to zay... I mean, say. Sometimes, I have a lot of
things to say. I listen all the time and I never ignore a request... but when it comes
time for me to respond, if I’m not done in a second or two, I get called these
horrible things...
Dr. Zigmund: Like what? What do zey call you?
Server: Slow... bloated... 20th-century... oh, it’s horrible! I just want people to let
me say a little more than “6” or “Pot 1”, you know?
servers don’t get to say much
