I learned a lesson about false lazyness this weekend -- I took my FoH power from a convenient receptacle at FoH, which was fine when first checked, before I spent 10 minutes on a ladder hanging my snake (but did not hang a power cable.)
Cue electrical work to install an HVAC unit at the business next door, which unwittingly pays for some of the electricity that supplies this bar, and half the overhead lights, jukebox, neons, and FoH all go off. They go back on later, but hot and neutral are somehow reversed. This after the "electrician" comes over to borrow a VOM (I'm guessing this guy was not a real electrician.)
Unfortunately, I failed to realize this change until it was too late to do anything about it. Lesson learned: always put FoH power cord up with snake, even if it should not be needed.
