Real world advice as I get older and hate people...

Management dgaf about you


Use your sick time, PTO and everything else to the limit you can get away with.

Fuck em
 
There are a limited amount of people that match my level of OCD, especially when it comes to electrical wiring and devices.
That being said, there is no correct position for a 3-way switch! That's what makes it a 3 way switch... it will always be in the opposite position on the other end. That conversation would get shutdown abruptly with me. :x
Negative, ghost rider.
Both switches down = hallway light off. One switch up = hallway light on. Other switch up so both are now up, hallway light off.

That middle switch without a dimmer slider.....?

It's a three-way switch (as they all are)

And the electrician put the dimmer on the other switch.

It is on my todo list to swap, but it's a.long list, and it's way down there. Maybe 2027 is the year
 
I have coffee and my todo list is less of a list more of seeing things, remembering they could be fixed and then ignoring them.
 
First winter bicycle ride in the Bay area input on all my warm layers I'd use for such rides in Colorado and promptly overheated while everyone else on the ride was freezing. I have since adjusted and can't imagine going out for a ride with snow on the ground like I did in my youth.
