I have to take the escalated shit from users and get to be the asshole that takes away their three extra computers they had under their desk.

While not necessarily coming in from the same angle, i have much the same responsibility (and latitude) where i work: If it plugs in or is made of electrons, i get to fix it; with the trade-off that i get to swipe stuff from around the company and add it to the treasure ball in my office. (If someone squawks about it, i can usually cook up a reasonable explanation as to why it belongs to me now.)
