I see stuff like that all the time.  I'm a Network admin and last line of defense where I work.  I help support 2 levels below.  You'd be surprised how often people overlook the most obvious and smiple things.  More often than not, if they would just calm down and start from the beginning they'd be alright. 

Hell, I got paged overnight because someones computer was not working.  I called the end user and asked a few questions.  She couldn't answer because she was not at the PC, so I asked her to call me back when she gets to it.  She replied that she couldn't, it was dark down there.  Turns out there was a power outage in that area of the building.  Pure win.

That’s awesome.  Should have told her to find a flashlight and go turn her PC back on.
