This is a question The Dirty Secrets of Your Trade

So, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.

We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

More tech support stuff
"This email has been quarantined because of naughty words"

If you ever get a message like that in your company inbox, please don't immediately write to tech support demanding its release because it's vital sales data or something. We *know* it's most likely pointless chat with your friends, "secret" chat with your mistress or grot from the girl you're having a torrid office affair with.

We know. We look. We chat about them.

On one occasion we had grade A filth coming through from one middle manager and his tart. The entire tech department was crowded around my desk laughing at that one. Twenty-odd people, that is.

Further to the reboot stuff other people have posted it depends on the type of equipment you're running and why. Basically if you're running network equipment and moving between sites there's a chance the scripts that connect you to the equipment haven't run properly. On laptops, if you plug in a network cable after booting up the machine, it can hang onto the network information from the last site. Rebooting will make it request new information.

Of course, sometimes we don't have a fucking clue what you're talking about, you sound like a prick and we can't be arsed with you.
