Disneyland. Client needed a data migration. I've also had to do similar tasks by pulling over at rest stops because everything is always an emergency.

I was at a barbecue on a Saturday night once when my boss called in an emergency because he thought we were being hacked. The reason being, because he was in Starbucks trying to look at our website on his phone and it wasn't loading properly. I had to explain that:

It's Saturday night and I'm not on-call for IT.
I'm also in the art department and IT is in no way part of my job description.
Because of 2, if we are being hacked I don't know what to do about it.
It's probably just that Starbucks wifi is shitty?

That was a stressful job lol.
