Same thing in IT. You work on 30 different tickets, all "urgent", but then a PM DM's you that his issue takes precedence (it doesn't).

It's kind of funny in a way. Most big shops require IT to some degree because CNC machines in the last 20 years or so require networking to pull programs from the NAS. I'm not ignorant by any means in that regard and twice I've walked into the IT guy's office, noticed him trying to be clever using SSH to hang out on IRC while I walked up and pulled the plug on the switch to reset things. Both times, he freaked out but I just pointed to his EFNET chats.
