Back in 2007 I worked in an office that required basic MS Excel / Word competency. The office manager led her to her desk and instructed her to turn on her computer (nothing fancy, a basic workstation with a large round button).

She couldn't figure out how to turn it on. The office manager sent her home and she never came back.

But she said she was amazing at KOMputers โ€ฆ clicking โ€ฆ double clicking.

Maybe she could be relationship manager.

Just remember, don't search for Google on Google. I have it on good authority that this will break the internet.

Maybe even triple clicking

He called the pointy finger of the teacher "magic finger"
