So today I go to a client to install an external drive to attach to the network for backup. While looking for an outlet to power the drive I find a huge 1500W battery backup that is plugged in but nothing is plugged into it nor is the comm cable attached. When I asked why it was not being used the client said, "Well don't you just plug them in?" :L

I was called to an female executives office by her admin. She said her boss told her the keyboard just stopped working and wanted it fixed before she got back from a meeting. Tried typing away and yes it was fried. I then went to replace it and when I tilted it, half a cup of water poured out of the keys.
