Wrote off bars as ugly for years but your post makes me want to try them, especially since Tucson sun kills everything stuck on glass.

A buddy of mine got called out to a small print shop last year and found a space heater running off a strip plugged into another strip, three levels deep. He told the owner he wouldn't power up his gear until they got an electrician in, and the guy got pretty hot about it. Two weeks later the whole chain melted down at 2am and nearly caught some paper stock. My buddy still brings it up at lunch. Your mileage may vary on how hard you push, but that one kind of made the case for him.

Honestly that third person sounds like they just got it, and it stinks that being honest is that rare in interviews. Blaming a deadline is such a weak move too. Sucks for the other two but at least your manager caught it.
