It really happens. The other day, the power had gone out for a second, and one of the computers was turned off. They called me because it was "down" and "showing an error message" ...which was what the monitor displays when it isn't getting any input. Like, if the computer wasn't turned on.

So, I don't know exactly why it was so hard to convince them to look for the power button and turn the computer back on, but I almost had to go down there and clock in. Abruptly in the middle of the call, someone on-site managed to hit the button, and they exclaimed "it's fixed now!"
