You are forgetting the golden rule of IT, use the star trek method when you explain how long a task will take.

Warp Factor 5 does not apply only to the amount of slap you need in the mornings.

One of the first things I was taught when I started doing IT/dialler work, the IT manager was a trekkie and told us he nicked it from the first film. Multiply the actual amount of time needed to do whatever task you were given 3 or 4 times and add on an extra half our. 9 times out of 10 the person giving us the task would tell us that was too long and told us to get it done in half the time. We get it done even faster and hey presto we are miracle workers. As long as we didn't do it too often it worked a treat.  whistle:

And when does your man ( or wumman ) arrive to fix it all ?

Took about 45 minutes. Decided not to tinker with my extension in the bedroom  lol:

And he helped me put my wall unit back ( which is where the plug is located behind)
