Computer shuts down when foreman leaves the room: Ghost in the machine? Or an all-too-human bit of silliness?

Re: US Residential Wiring

Where I live, there are two switches at the bottom of the stairwell. One controls the lights for stairs. The other controls a power outlet in the room at the bottom of the stairs. I presume the intent was to plug in a floor lamp there. However, since that isn't how I use that outlet, and I don't own the house, I just put a commercial switch protector/guard on that switch.
