It’s So Bright!

Another thing I like about this new store is that it’s nice and bright inside. I do like our color scheme where we are though, rose red walls and green pillars, but it does make things a little darker overall. The new store had been renovated about a year ago though, complete with new light fixtures with the daylight fluorescent tubes. Much nicer look compared to the current yellowish fluorescents we have in this place. That’s another thing I hate about where we are, the wiring sucks. There’s hardly any outlets along the walls and a lot of them are tied into the same circuit breaker.

The other day I had two computers to fix, one of them was extremely dirty inside so I had the vacuum and air compressor both plugged in. While blasting out dust with one and and sucking it up with the other, the air pressure got a little low and the compressor kicked in. Pop. There went the breaker, shutting off both computers in the process. “Internet’s down!” yells the wife from the other side of the store, so I guess the router was also on the same circuit. In the basement. Downstairs I went to reset the router, but no luck, none of the computers were getting a signal or IP address out of it. Great, fried router, thank you crappy wiring.
