08:00:  I had a client with some issues yesterday with internet at their office.  I start following up with that.

08:45:  I am done resolving those issues, just a loose power cable probably from the client doing some troubleshooting yesterday, but the real problem was that the ISP had gone down and not a local issue, so just an issue caused by the troubleshooting.
