Snoozes
I'm not an IT guy by any stretch, but at my old company I was as near to it as you could get, in an office full of 40/50 something crusty chartered surveyors...

That meant that any time the internet went down, crippling the email, they'd send me off to fix it...usually consisting of switching off the router and turning it back on again...obviously this used to take about a minute to fix, but being smart, I'd stay down there for ages, playing games on my phone, with the door locked...

I eventually got it to take a full morning of my time, so that on a wednesday, after a harsh night out, I'd sneak into the server room on my way in, unplug the router, and then go and get my head down for a few hours in the server room, which was lovely and cool, and soothed my pounding head...
