If your problem is bad enough to call me to "fix it asap" then you bloody well better be sitting there when I show up to deal with it!

I swear, the next person who gets all Chicken Little on me because they're in the middle of something that HAS to be done in the next 20 minutes, (but inexplicably calls me for help while apparently standing on the damn transporter pad awaiting beam-out) is going to get introduced to the Gary Mitchell maneuver...

Heh, which one would that be, the remote strangling with the equipment cables, the psychic electroshock, or the attempted dropping of the big rock on the head?

Definitely the strangling. Much more satisfying.

Strap him to a motorcycle and send him down Hollywood Blvd without a helmet?

I've learned that "ASAP" is a euphemism for "I'm more important than everyone else, so fix my typoed email domain, minion" in this business.

So unless it's a total outage, as determined by me, they're SOL, throw it in the queue, and when it's turn comes up...
