Electrical pun!

[icepixie]

One nice thing about work is that today it allowed me to make the following pun: "The circuit breaker section in this package really tripped me up."

(And it did, too. That one had all kinds of little pieces I'd never seen before and which would not pull up in the online digest, and...urg. Evil little section

It's good to see that you're staying current with your work. You seem to get a real charge out of it. It's definitely inspired a spark in you. It's shocking, I know, but you never know watt's going to grab you.

:D

I have plenty of time to make electrical puns when I write panelboard schedules at work.

Anyway, Boomshine is a mean, evil game and I hate you for linking me to it when I had finally gotten away from it.

Careful; I might have a short fuse right now. (This would be easier to respond to if I had my handy-dandy binder with all the equipment names in it...)

...So you're who I should blame for my problems with them?! Tell me you have the power to start a naming revolution. A, B, C... or just plain numbers will do. No weird alphanumeric combinations.

(Although if DWF Batch Print, Acrobat Distiller, and Acrobat itself would all just keep the damn things in order, I'd be just as happy...)

I'm sure that would lead to some luminous puns.

Probably not. I just do simple schedules for houses/businesses and mostly I just have to match circuits with outlets/light fixtures on my floor plans, then transfer that into a schedule. I don't go into the detailed stuff that you probably have to look at, so the most complicated naming system I deal with is along the lines of "RP-1/42."

That said, my panels tend to suck because I'm an architect, not an engineer.

Or maybe just a short circuit. They might be non-starters.

*pouts* Damn. Yes, we do a lot of schools, hospitals, amusement parks, etc. Mostly the bigger end of things. The panelboard schedule naming systems make NO SENSE.

Heh. It's probably engineers who are making these.

I have personal issues with all three of those programs.One of them (or possibly all three of them) makes it so that every. single. page. comes in backwards. Like, say I want it to go A, B, C, it comes in C, B, A. Then about a sixth of them just go somewhere completely random. Oh, and it usually
