Kind of tech related:

Coworker had spent days trying to make replacement radio transmitter work. The receivers were all acting like they were expecting PL (sub-audible tone), but he was insistent that the old transmitter wasn't configured for PL. Boss sends me down. I read all the docs. I try *everything.* Days pass. No progress made. Boss finally arrives, pulls out service monitor, in a matter of seconds "Look, there's PL on the carrier, right there"

Apparently co-worker was looking in the wrong spot in the programming of the old transmitter and I just assumed he knew WTF he was talking about. Lesson learned.
