    I’m lucky that the people in my life do try some basics before asking me and tell me what they tried. Sometimes things just seem to start working when I arrive, so I just play along with it and say the printer was intimidated into working by my mere presence.

      Oh, you have that aura too? I like it in that it helps me avoid spending time on fixes, but it’s annoying too because deep in my mind I wonder what really went wrong.

      The panic my coworkers get in their eyes when they pull me from a task just to show me something that suddenly works for them is always funny.
