About a lifetime ago I worked for an IT company (I still work for an IT company, just a different one now) where I supported multiple customers. I had to keep track of my time spent on each customer for billing purposes.
I was the "SME" (Subject Matter Expert) for the particular application at the time, so when the time rolled around to run upgrades, I was the lucky chap to get to do it. It was a long, boring process, which included a good 4-6 hours of waiting for the database to upgrade.
The upgrades had to be done in the off hours, so once I got this one particular upgrade running at about 10:00pm and all I could do was wait for several hours for it to complete. I had some time on my hands. We were watching tv, got bored, and things went from there. And I was on the clock, so submitted my hours accordingly. :)
HAHAH Yah! I/T and getting laid usually don't happen in the same story either!
I run an I/T company supporting small businesses with their technology. Trying to explain to clients why upgrades need to be done, and why they might be in store for an outage of sorts is painful.
I know there is a story there and you are NOT getting away with a teaser like that without details! ;)
Hahaha. Yeah, I suppose that was quite a lead in.

Now THAT'S how you work!
No kidding! I/T is usually quite a bore. Certainly shook it up that time!
