Monday Night Madness

So, it's Monday night, and I'm being a good little geek at home - the last thing I want to hear is about how the Perth office have fucked things up again.

*ring ring*
*cry*

Today, we have a new player: The BigBoss's wife, who works in the office as the Office Admin, and also controls all the money to the other offices. It's a recipe for disaster, but no-one can say anything, because she's TheWife.

BigBoss: "I need the password to log into the server so we can do stuff!"
Me: *alarm bells instantly going off in my head* "Er...why do you need the password?"
BigBoss: "We need to log in to restart the server so we can access the shared files and do other stuff, we haven't been online all day!"
Me: *no server access all day, and you're calling me at 7 fucking pm?!* "Why, that's unusual!"
BigBoss: "So, whats the password?"
Me: *Can't really say no to the guy that pays the bills, so I give it to him* "So, why do you need to restart again? Why did it restart in the first place?"
BigBoss: "Dunno, just did. Restarting now anyway, who knows."
Me: *internal rage levels rising* "Um, let me log in remotely when it comes up, I'll get it up and running"
BigBoss: "Yup, whatever, it's working now right?"
Me: *logs in* "Yeaaaaa.....someone shut the server down at Friday 5:45. Any ideas?"

*silence*

BigBoss: "....Anyway, my laptop...."
Me: "......yes?" *ok, I guess we've moved on*
BigBoss: "....yea just click...."
Me: *obviously he's talking to someone in the background, I guess I'll just wait*
BigBoss: "....mumble mumble...."
Me: "Sorry?"
BigBoss: "....ss....ss........ss....."
Me: "?!?!?!"
TheWife: "IS THE SERVER UP YET IT SHOULD BE UP BY NOW IVE GOT WORK TO DO"
Me: "...."
BigBoss: "...."
Me: "...."
BigBoss: "ARE YOU STILL THERE!?"

There's more to the story - BigBoss believes that there's no anti-virus installed, because Windows can't find it - but honestly, it's too painful.
