Confusion about when it's my navigation, and when it's ATC

I fly [MS FlightSimulator] from KLAX to KLAS, using the FMC to handle
most of the flight.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Imaginary Airlines. Sorry
for the delay in departure, but we had some technical difficulties with the
PC and had to reboot from a "blue screen of death". Everything is normal
now and we should be departing as soon as I give myself clearance and hit
the bathroom. Oops, wait a minute, I think I hear the telephone ringing...
Sorry again for the delay - that was my ex-girlfriend and the conversation
got a little terse. I also took the opportunity to make a sandwich and pop
open a brewski. On climbout be sure to look down and notice the beautiful
parquee floor below us. Those of you fortunate enough to be seated on the
right side of the room will have a fantastic view of the door to the bath
room. As long as the power stays on and this #$&@# windows PC behaves we
should be arriving on time. Thanks again for flying Imaginary Airlines, we
hope to see you back again soon...
