There was an IT engineer who had an exceptional gift for fixing all things IT related. After serving his company loyally for over 30 years, he happily retired. Several years later the company contacted him regarding a seemingly impossible problem they were having with one of their main networks, resulting in multimillion-dollar losses per day. They had tried everything and everyone else to get the network to work, but to no avail. In desperation, they called on the retired engineer who had solved so many of their problems in the past.
