    Arguing without getting emotional

    Kinsrow you are in a tough spot. One thing I've noticed is people don't like having their work ripped apart and redone by someone else or even have it suggested that it needs to be redone. The tough part is you seem like the person who has to make the thing work despite the fact you didn't...

    One Line Distribution Diagram

    Well looks like everything is set. I drew up a one line and had it transfered to computer by a co-worker. Power company should be out to look at the site and what it will take to swap transformers next. Hoping they'll be able to do it reasonably quickly but time will tell.

    Smirking in Meetings

    watching the company rules

    Good point HG . If the purpose is indeed to prevent attacks on the system it seems reasonable to have downloads checked through IT guys. I'm curious if this guy would get backed up by 2dye4 if he did "play along" and got heat for it. Most company rules are put in place to prevent bad things...

If you ask a peer they just say go ahead just don't tell anyone." Just a thought that you have a security issue...
