That could have ended much, much worse.

My co-worker was disappointed for me, as he says I was so close to being on "1000 ways to die".

I'm not 100% certain how to take that.

That's one of those situations that would be incredibly difficult to choreograph deliberately, where random chance succeeds effortlessly. ^_^;

It is one of those moments where I am extremely appreciative of all the engineers that ensured a system was designed that would pop the breaker instead of me!

And people wonder why I'm so retentive about my wiring... it's because I know the first short-cut I take is the one that will catch me up!
