"I was having trouble with my computer, so I called Harold, the computer
guy, to come over. Harold clicked a couple of keys and buttons and solved
the problem. He gave me a bill for a minimum service call. As he was walking
away, I called after him, "So, what was wrong?" He replied, "It was an ID
ten T error."

I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless, asked, "An ID ten T error?

What is that. . . in case I need to fix it again?" Harold grinned, "Haven't
you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?" "No," I replied. "Write it
down," he said, "and I think you will figure it out."

So, I wrote it down --- I D 1 0 T I used to LIKE Harold!"

She gets if after 20 mins, after which I do it again

Ah, the good ol' ID-10-T. Here at my workplace, PEBCAK abound.
