    I’m in the building sciences. The biggest unanswered question we come up against almost daily is “what the fuck was the last guy thinking?”. And we avoid, daily, admitting we were the last guy somewhere else.

          Rules of Tech Support:

          Rule T18 - You are incompetent. You just don’t know it. At least, that’s what your replacement will think.

          Rule T18A - You will have to deal with techs who are incompetent.

          Rule T18B - Sometimes, you really are incompetent.
