Have you rebooted yet?
OK, IT folks out there, how many times a week do you have to ask someone “have you rebooted yet”? Seriously, how many times do you have to tell people to reboot? Especially considering that many times a reboot will fix it! It has actually entered comical poprtions these days. When someone comes to our office or opens a ticket, we smile and ask if they would please reboot first and see if the problems is there. It seems 75% of the tiome we don’t hear back at all, meaning it did indeed fix it.
Gotta love those users! We’ll always be employed because of them!

Reminds me of IT Crowd, where the first thing Roy ever says when answering is:
- “Have you tried turning it off and on again? Ok, well are you sure it’s PLUGED IN?”
