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

@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?"

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

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.

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.
