sanely rated, you had to get approval from the Head of Engineering, your
Line Manager, and H&S Officer, and also provide a side of A4 explaining
why *exactly* you needed 13A of power. "Running networking tests which

My response to this sort of scenario would be repeatedly blowing fuses
and sitting on my hands waiting for the fuses to be replaced. If asked
why my product wasn't getting out the door, I'd point to the fuse holder.
I'd probably get fired, but I might just get their attention. In any
case, I'd probably go ballistic when faced with this kind of stupidity.
Literally. Complete with arm-waving and screaming.
