ROTFL!! Amazing what wondrous superpowers they get when properly motivated! ;-) Of course, it appears you have enough clout that the VP made IT move their mountain (of.... 'stuff') and make it work for you. But I think where I work, they might have suggested I had to come back to the office again. Great to hear you got things going again, Jay.
