A pie chart labelled “How I fix stuff working in IT”
The biggest segment is "Restart whatever isn’t working2 The second biggest segment is “Quick google search” The last segment is “IT placebo effect: My mere presence has fixed the issue”
I always called that “the technician’s aura” myself. The reverse, where someone seems to cause it equipment to malfunction spontaneously wherever they go, I call “the jinx aura”.
Naturally I’m an it technician and ended up marrying a jinx, so the world stays precariously balanced on our area.
