You spend the next hour determining that a firmware update to the access points has caused the issue, and after locating the previous firmware version, upgrade the access points and resolve the issue. A client calls at 4:30PM and has a problem with a software application you've never heard of before. . . problem solved after a few minutes and you're done by 5 pm at the office, but later tonight from home, you need to apply security patches and reboot a server and confirm everything is working correctly.
