7 Even More Dirty Jobs in IT

As a dedication to this, I'd like to start posting my more ridiculous stories of working in IT. I'll start with one from college. I was working the computer help desk (it paid well and had good hours) during a campus-wide blackout. No power on campus, but of course we had the old school phones that still worked. I got a call from a student in a computer lab saying that none of the computers were working in the computer lab in her dorm. When I asked her if the lights were on, she said that the power was off and so the lights didn't work. Further, she had a computer in her room that wouldn't work because there was no power in the building. But she didn't make the leap that the power being off in the building was the reason that none of the computers in the computer lab would turn on.
