I have some electrician buddies that get called that, plus, I get called it.
It's strange, I could have _sworn_ that we were shutting down the right
generator.
(I was at sea on HMCS Miramichi, and we kind of shut down the on load
generator, rather than the one we had just dropped all the load off of. I have
a excuse though, since the numbers in the switchboard are right to left, and
the generators are numbered left to right...we thought we were shutting down
#1, when it was #2 we were merrily tripping out...that blackening feeling as
the lights flickered and we realized that we had just shut down the wrong
engine...and to make it worse, you have to sincronize off that one, so we had
to start it back up, then put load to it, then transfer load to #2, then shut
it down again...)
(arg!)
