Everyone is a classic example of trying to fix a problem without first learning what is defective. A very common trend among computer repair technicians. They usually first replace a PSU.

Mr. Clod is in operations, and I can affirm that he is very good at 2 AM flashlight sourcing.

Would you hire an electrician to replace a light bulb at 2 AM at $40 an hour? Or wait until after sunrise to spend $10 an hour. Flashlight is always a best solution at 2 AM.

Especially if management must get out of bed hire the electrician. It is called a management decision.

Is that why Richard Nixon and the Donald fire people on Saturday night? They get paid overtime money?

Why are they so interested in more zeros? Don't they have enough working for them?
