I have to approve all maintenance calls with my new job, and assign the value of urgency with the calls for the foremen to dispatch.

We had one come in the other day. One of the schools said EVERYTHING they plugged into this plug burned up, and something was very wrong.

I called one of the guys and told him to get there poste haste.

He called me 1/2 hour later, still laughing. He did not know (and could get no one to admit to) how they ever got a 110 volt computer and printer plugged into an old 250 volt 20 amp outlet.

Just before he removed the old printer outlet and blanked it off, he 'splained to 'em that they should not attempt to twist the blades of a 110 volt cord cap to fit what ever was there.
