I worked at a high school doing IT. I kept student-returned laptops in a laptop cart. One day, to my absolute horror, baby cockroaches start crawling out of the cart, and infested my entire work area.

The cart was quarantined and treated by Terminix. After a while the cart was returned to me, and I had to sort through and clean/wipe all of them. I wish I could have just e-wasted the whole thing. Another round of hatching happened a few weeks later, from another laptop, but luckily I had put them in air-tight containers by then.

What kind of technology did you work with while doing desktop support? If you like working with endpoints you could consider doing client platform engineering.

Takeout. I get it a few times a week and always feel a bit guilty about it. I like supporting the local businesses but it’s expensive and the plastic containers aren’t great.
