Tech Aura. If you have it you understand. If you don't then you watch in awed frustration as the computer that refused to work 10 seconds ago suddenly starts behaving when I.T. touches it. As an aside you know your I.T. are real wizards when stuff starts working just because they walked in the room or answered the phone. :)

my tech aura comes and goes

i once tried to log into a microsoft account for 10 minutes, and it only let me in once i took the laptop to my coworker and tried to show how it wasn't working

and then one of my other coworkers tried to restart a camera multiple times, and it only worked when i pressed the button
