Re: Doubtless with the assistance of a baseball bat peppered with rusty nails.
A coworker once related the tale of his first 12-hour night shift. He dozed off sitting at a big metal desk. His supervisor snuck up behind him and hit the desk with a big metal ruler. "I'M AWAKE, I'M AWAKE!!!"
I was doing some troubleshooting with a different coworker on a million-dollar DCS cabinet, which was (even at that moment) running significant portions of a pharmaceuticals manufacturing facility. Being my first time in one of these cabinets, I was understandably nervous. As my multimeter's leads touched the terminals, he clapped. One time, good and loud. I could have throttled him...
