I once got called on to investigate a problem with the PC of one of the (male) doctors I worked for.

His complaint: after hooking up new speakers, he had no sound.

I went into his office to have a looksee while he was busy with a patient.

Results of my investigation: the speaker system was plugged into an input jack, rather than the appropriate audio output jack on the soundcard.

After that I did what any sensible girl in my situation would do - I quickly closed the door of his office, spent about 10 minutes scooting his chair around behind the desk, picking up things and putting them back down, kicking my feet against the sides of his desk, and anything else I could think of to make the desired "TECH PERSON AT WORK, DO NOT DISTURB" noises. Then I opened Media Player, found some random sound file, played it to verify my work was indeed done, and left the office.

I passed the doc in the hallway on the way back to my desk and casually told him that I'd finished "repairing" his computer.

He still thinks I'm a genius.

I hope he added a fat paycheck for you
