Ah yes, the sacred ritual of modern IT.

Every day I wake up, stretch, and immediately begin my daily chant:

“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”

My hands? Permanently in “Ctrl + Alt + Delete” formation.

My coffee? 98% bitterness, 2% thermal paste.

My brain? Running on 3 Chrome tabs, one of which is frozen.

Users be like:

“It just stopped working.”

Oh did it? Did it just stop, Barbara? Or did you feed it malware, deny the updates, ignore 13 error messages, and then scream when it exploded?

I am the keeper of passwords no one remembers, the slayer of printers with free will, and the high priest of “Why the hell is this plugged into HDMI 3?”

Sometimes I wonder…

What if I clicked myself into safe mode?

Would I finally get peace?

But no.

Here I go again.

Click this. Click that.

Pray to the Wi-Fi gods.

Sacrifice a USB stick.

And hope—just hope—the server doesn’t reboot during lunch.
