My only problem with the IT dept. at work is that they don't get paid enough

Edit:

Actually, here's a real story. Website used to be hosted through some local company where my employer moved from. They were pretty good on the tech side, although they missed a few things here and there that I caught. Well, when I got ahold of the new website, I tested it first on a sub-directory and noticed that PHP must not have been installed. Called our guy up, told him to install PHP..and oh by the way, is he aware of how to do it on Win2k3? It's slightly different from Windows 2000 and NT4. Yea, yea, he'll do it no problem, and text me when it's done. So, about 2 hours later I get a text, PHP is GTG. Backup old site, upload new site, and leave Lexington to go home for break. 8 or 9 hours later when I'm home I show my friend the new site...except that there is nothing there. Web server admin dude didn't install PHP correctly, and so for 9 hours, users have been getting nothing. Put old website back up, and call screaming. Change hosting companies.
