IT: Communication with our server stopped working in this office. We've gone back and forth with Firewall team for weeks. Nobody can figure it out.
Me: Okay get me on a machine that's not communicating.
Me: *poking around*
Me: "that's weird there's a typo DNS suffix"

I solve problems like this all the time, that people have worked weeks or months on. That is kind of my specialty. One of the most common things I hear is, “The IT team has been trying to fix this for weeks/months/years! You solved it in 5 minutes! How you’d know where to look?”

There is no answer to that question other than The Path. 😉
