Sounds like a typical day at the Columbia based branch of Midwestern electronics recycling and resell outfit.

There never seemed to be enough fans and there was the routine tripping the breakers since there were stacks of servers and PCs to wipe. The breakers couldn’t hold the load and electrical design was cheaped out.

I worked at a Kaiser reduction plant in the 70's that manufactured aluminum from scratch - Bauxite ore, electro-chemical process, 50,000 amps of juice, and massive amounts of heat. On a hot summer day, 140 degrees in the main room was common and brutal - one had to take at least 6 salt tablets to prevent muscle cramps. I was slim and trim after six months there but didn't make a career of it.
