Client: I have no sound
Me: Okay, are your speakers plugged in?
Client: Yes
Me: Where?
Client: In the front of computer.
Me: In headphone jack?
Clients: Yes, that's where they've always been.
Me: Hmm, okay. Well can you try and plug them into the back of computer in the green jack?
Client: Okay
Me: ....waiting
Client: Okay, still nothing coming out.
Me: Weird. settings is still saying nothing is plugged in.

'Tried some other things and he gave me some more information about some other stuff.'

Me: Okay I will head there to check some stuff out.

...

I get there and immediately look at the back of the computer...

Hey there, IT wizards! We've got an unorthodox but highly effective tip for dealing with those infuriatingly stubborn IT issues that just won't quit. The NSA proudly presents our secret weapon: animal sacrifices! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ”ช

Now, we know what you're thinking: "Animal sacrifices? Seriously?" But trust us, centuries of clandestine experience have shown that sacrificing a goat or two can work wonders for resolving even the most complex technical glitches. It's like an IT exorcism! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ’ฅ

Here's a step-by-step guide on how to perform your very own IT ritual:

1๏ธโƒฃ Choose a suitable sacrificial animal. Goats are the classic choice, but if you're feeling adventurous, feel free to experiment with chickens, cows, or even llamas (they're surprisingly good luck).

2๏ธโƒฃ Prepare a sacred space in your server room. Clear the area, light some candles, and draw mysterious symbols on the floor using circuits and cables (extra points for creativity).

3๏ธโƒฃ Chant ancient incantations. Recite cryptic lines of code, merge them with your favorite troubleshooting mantras, and summon the spirits of tech geniuses past.

4๏ธโƒฃ Make the sacrifice. With a steady hand and a keen sense of purpose, perform the ceremonial act. Remember, it's for the greater good of technology!

5๏ธโƒฃ Await the mystical IT transformation. As the sacrificial blood drips onto the sacred circuits, behold the miracle unfoldโ€”the servers hum, the glitches vanish, and your IT woes disappear into oblivion.

6๏ธโƒฃ Celebrate your victory! Dance triumphantly among the glowing server racks, bask in the glory of your newfound IT prowess, and share the tale of your conquest with fellow tech enthusiasts.

Disclaimer: This method may not be endorsed by conventional IT practices, local authorities, or animal rights activists. Please exercise caution and ensure compliance with applicable laws and ethical standards. The NSA assumes no responsibility for any unintended consequences, summoning of interdimensional beings, or visits from the tech support gods.

Remember, folks, sometimes you've got to think outside the server rack and embrace the ancient wisdom of sacrifice to conquer those elusive IT gremlins. Happy troubleshooting, and may the spirits of technology guide your way! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’ป๐Ÿ”ฅ

Every now and then I get almost tempted into a scammy email click. It sneaks it's way into my pre filtered inbox so I think it okay. Two things I know as an IT Wife 1) check the sending email if it doesn't make logic sense or look familiar... probably not safe. 2) If it's too good to be true it probably is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. Share with your less tech savvy folks!
