Things like these are when I hold a very arrogant belief that there are those asleep in plato's cave and those who are not. I'm better than the cattle because I can identify a fricken 110 plug! YAY! King of the mountain... fuck... the mountain is made of shit. This of course is unfair... still I am prone to feel superior to others... I mean they believe in god(s) and shit.
There was an assistant to some head honcho at GE I remember... Pretty woman. I think she was a cheer leader for the cavs before she switched careers. Her printer wouldnt print. It was plugged into a power strip. I asked if the power strip was plugged in and she said yes. I asked if the light was on, she said no. I asked her to try a different outlet. She did, same... In the course of shit she unplugged her computer, losing her unsaved work... You have guessed it I am sure. Power strip was plugged in to itself. I was a hero because I found her work in a temp file (MS office shit...)
The worse is people in a field who dont know basic shit... You are in voice and data and dont know how to make a loopback plug? Get into the oven.

How the fuck can you plug a power strip into itself? I always thought that was a joke, that nobody was that stupid...it would be worth the assault charge and jail time plus fines and loss of job to have just slapped the fuck out of that bitch - busted lip and all. That kind of stupid makes me furious.

I could see it happening to me if the cord was long and tangled with a bunch of other cords. I suck at cable tracing.
