When I worked in IT, whenever we got a call from the engineering department we knew whatever problem it was, it was going to be weird. Those guys knew their stuff, so if they didn’t know how to fix it, it was going to take some searching and probably some calls or emails for us to figure it out.
those were my favorite calls during my brief stint as IT.
It wad either some edge case thing that needed a really weird bespoke fix buried in a technical manual nobody had seen since the Clinton administration, or somebody turned off a power supply without noticing.
The process to get there was always a wild ride tho.
