Things left unsaid...

I made arrangements on Friday to telecommute in Toronto; after some discussion of both her requirements and mine we had all the plans made.
During our conversation she provided such details as the network computer identification, (so that I would connect to the correct machine), authentication credentials and a time frame - I would remotely connect to her computer examine the installations and then execute my test scripts, (informing her of the results on Monday). I expended some effort to ensure my work would have as little impact to her responsibilities and that she was comfortable with what to expect, I thought we covered all the necessities...that is until I tried to connect this morning - the one thing I did not say was the her computer had to be turned on!
Oof!
