10. Crazy stuff happens.

In my IT experience, things would go off the rails. Almost always on a Friday afternoon, as I was getting ready to go home.

Most of the time, but not all, it was some temporary glitch somewhere on the vast internet that someone fixed shortly thereafter. Debugging was mostly a waste of time.

In the case of browsers, they cache a ton of stuff, and clearing the cache (if you know how --- It's usually in the privacy options, not clear for beginners to find, is roughly the equivalent of rebooting a computer, which cures many problems. But browsers remember (bad) stuff across reboots.

The best test I found is whether others are having the same problem. If they are, sit back and wait for the Menehune (IT folks) to fix it. Usually rebooting a router somewhere.

I use 3 different browsers at times, and that can narrow down the problem.

Glad that it was resolved.
