I work in IT support.
A solid 80% of all issues magically disappear the second I show up.
There's a very simple explanation for it – Clarke's Fourth Law:
Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology.

It's the whole reason why IT wizards are exempt from the usual office dress code.
The long hair, beards and flowing robes (or baggy pants and XXXL T-shirts) are vital parts of the ritual.

This is the actual explanation, and I do tell people when they get frustrated enough. I have the aura, I am a natural tech witch. Just call me and I'll stand by your PC, scrolling on my phone, while you discover it now works. Bye bye now. Don't forget to tip your IT guy.
