Jim:  I want Mike to head up the high volt panel work, since you'll be busy on the tower.

Mike:  Okay.

Me:  Have you ever done this before?

Mike:  Loads of times.  <--- Blatant lie. 

Me:  Do you need help setting up a written plan?

Mike:  NO.  I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.

Me:  Okay.

*add 3 weeks*

Ernie:  Hey, we just tried to bring up the scrubbers, and nothing works.  The lights come on, but the motors don't.

Me:  So we have control voltage, but no three phase.

Mike:  What did you guys fuck up?

Me:  Let's go look.

MIKE FORGOT TO THROW THE DISCONNECT THAT FEEDS POWER TO HALF THE PLANT.

Me:  *engages disconnect, everything turns on*

Me:  Mike, can I SEE that written plan of yours?

Mike:  NO!  *throws hardhat against wall, goes home*

Me:  :hammer:

For what it's worth, not having a written plan when working on 13,800 volt panels is a felony (and if someone had gotten hurt or killed, Mike would be going to jail).

Mike will not, of course, receive any kind of discipline over this.  Not even a write up.

What most people don't know is that 13,800 volt power doesn't act like wall current.

It acts like a hungry fucking octupus that reaches out through the air to kill you.

Or Godzilla, when it blows disconnects right off the wall.

That is not at all terrifying.

It isn't, actually, IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

It follows very simple rules.  If you take those rules into account, it can't hurt you.

Allowing some arse biscuit jackass to put his mitts all over it because he has "PE" after his name is just BEGGING for a fatality or three.

Holy crap that's scary!  I'm glad no one was hurt though and that he didn't cause any major damage.
