User: We need to find a file about [possible subject] created in 2015. We don't know any part of a file name nor where the file could be located.
Me: . . . .
[45 minutes later]Me: Here's what I found.
User: This looks like what I need. Thank you!
Me (internally): So I've just set a precedence that I can find anything using absolute minimal amount of information. /sigh
I feel you there...
My favorite was my first real IT job. We were upgrading machines from XP to 7 (this was in 2012) and it was a bond-trading desk. They used Act! 2000 and it wasn't a licensed product but we didn't have the installer. I managed to use Google and some regex to find the installer buried on some FTP server online and it worked! A month later, I was able to, barely, replicate finding it, and now have no idea how I found it in the first place besides persistence and luck. Lol

@thanksajdotcom I'm happy I was able to find something, for it greatly helps the user + exec on a call that's happening in an hour; however, I can't help but take a step back and say "damn, do you realize what you're requesting?"
I need a thing! No, I can't describe it or give you any details...I just need it! Oh, and I needed it two hours ago. Can you help me?!

For anyone who decides to watch Rick and Morty S3E1 a bit of an inside joke from those of us in the know.

@thanksajdotcom I lucked out that the file was named something useful (not like prototype1.x), so it could be identified.

Bought some tickets to go see the John Butler Trio in August.

I feel like all posting, anywhere on the Internet seems slow today.

Nah its not just Scott, things are slow here. As in not a lot of volume.

I've been not quite so active online today, so I'm no great judge.

I've been watching closely and ML is slower than average, and SW feels slow, but I only have the email pace as a metric.
