My easiest job
would have to of been when working in the control systems industry, kitting out boardrooms with automation equipment and wotnot. Anyway one day me and a colleague were booked to go and see quite a high profile client and iron out some issues with their system. We both knew it was going to be a long day, more than likely one of those 8pm + finishes, not to mention having to get the (3 hour+) train in and out of london. Pain in the arse!

Anyway, we got there and I sat in the boardroom, connected my laptop to the control point and my colleague went into the rack room. About 5 minutes later I'm sitting there wondering what's taking him so long, so I peered round the door to find him scraping the circuit board of one of the components with a screwdriver. We made eye contact, both knew it was for the best and I left him to it while I went back to my laptop.

10 minutes later we were out of there, confirmed hardware failure, would take a few days for the replacement to arrive. What a bummer!
