My Dad did extra work besides his day job doing electrical. It was mostly on weekends. He took me Long as his helper on Saturdays. One Saturday we were wiring up te sockets and lighting for a new construction large animal veterinary hospital. Remember is wss really cold and we didn't have any sort of heat in the new construction.

While we were working with the wiring some idiot finish carpenter instead of using the extension cords provided hooked up the building's main junction box so he could run his table saw. I was on a ladder wiring a 220 socket when he did. Not only did I get shocked, my arms felt about 2 inches long, I was knocked off the ladder. Probably a good thing I was on a ladder and got knocked away from the wires. My head was near one of the metal building's beams and it singed my hair. Got to go Jr High with my head shaved before there was anybody doing that. No Alopecia, Kemo kids or even Neo-Nazis. Just the weird kid with a shaved head.

Dad got really mad at the carpenter. Not only was the junction box tagged to not touch, that guy wasn't supposed to even be on site or monkey with the electricity. Dad refused to do any more commercial jobs after that. All he did after was residential stuff, which meant I got to be his attic rat.
