An Age Of Wonder

“No that should work, try it again,” said Sean.

Rick was sitting at the computer and Sean was looking over his shoulder. The screen said Error: No Such page exists. Try again.

“I don’t get it. What are we doing wrong?” said Rick, clearly frustrated.

“I don’t know man,” said Sean. “Barry’s the computer wizard, not me. Try putting it in all caps.”

“I already tried that.”

“Well I have to get this job, and the only way you can apply is online. We have got to figure this out.”

“I’m going to try not putting any space in.”

“That’s ridiculous,” said Sean. “But try it anyway. I’m going to call this guy again.”

Rick began typing as Sean went in the other room to get the phone.

“Uh-huh,” he said into the phone. “Right. And then push…? OOOOOHHHHHH, OK. Thanks so much man.”

Sean came back into the room.

“I talked to the manager. He said that after you type it in you have to push Enter,” he told Rick.

“Enter!” said Rick. “Of course. OK, so let’s try this again.”

He began typing and then pushed Enter.

The screen said Error: No Such page exists. Try again.

“What the barrel of turds?” said Sean. “We typed it in, we pushed enter, it’s not working! I need this job!”

“I don’t know what to tell you,” said Rick. “Why don’t you sit down and try it?”

Sean sat down at the computer and said “OK, I’m going to follow these instructions word for word.”

“That’s exactly what I’ve been doing but go ahead and try,” said Rick.

Sean typed double u double u double u dot burger king dot com into the address bar and then pushed Enter.

The screen said Error: No Such page exists. Try again.

“What are we doing wrong?!” Sean screamed.
