no..no... not THAT switch

here's a bummer way to have to start your day.

explain to the boss why you just lost the company $11million

that's why when i have contractors around work, one of us is with them at all times. it's a really bad thing to have someone throw the wrong switch around here.

Speaking of losing money, I remember quite a few times troubleshooting our analog based sonar system and running through 4-5 high voltage power supplies, each running about $4k, only to find that the problem that was burning them up was upstream of the them. Whoops.

Good story Bud!! While were on the loosing money subject, do you happen to remember throwing perfectly good spare parts overboard just because we going to end the year with a surplus which meant less money for next fiscal year??
