So my boss isn't a total idiot.

My VPN access is down because my SecureID started reading "Prog" and I haven't got a new one yet. A service that always goes down (because the server has major issues and we are migrating everything off of it) did so again this morning. All of my employees are on the road, so none of them can get to a computer and, like I said, I don't have access from here.

I walked my boss through logging into the server, becomming root, reading log files, starting MySQL, killing Apache manually, and restarting. He did everything I asked him on the first shot without messing up, or mistyping, or not understanding the symbols I was telling him to type. I am kind of proud.
