Chasing a nasty bug is fun! I'm mostly a software design person. Despite that, nothing is more pleasing and fun than to trace problems in a system with which I am unfamiliar. And I'm either extremely lucky or extremely good at it. When asked to help with a sticky problem I can usually steer co-workers to a solution fairly quickly. In a surprising number of instances the "problem" vanishes, never to return (unlike a Heisenbug). My peers have somewhat ungratefully termed this the "Asshole Effect"!
