 2t> Shit.  I couldn't even get people to save their work at the end of the

Those who don't save their work - especially at the end of the day - get what they deserve.

 2t> Management agreed to it, and we told everyone to log off or reboot at
 2t> the end of each day and that if they failed to save their work, TOO
 2t> EFFING BAD.

Yup.

 2t> That went great until the President of the Company didnt save her work
 2t> and I got chewed out for rebooting her PC at 3AM.

Rock | you | hard-place

Updates gotta be applied sometime lady!  I personally have no issue with IT people rebooting my work machine after hours if they've told me it's going to happen (so I can deliberately not leave some long running thing going).

 2t> This is why I got out of IT.  No matter what happened, it was ALWAYS my
 2t> fault.

Reboot PC at 3am to apply security updates = chewed out.

Don't reboot PC at 3am to apply security updates and her PC gets 0wn3d = chewed out.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.  I'm a network engineer, so I feel your pain.
