So, "Jack" calls me...

NACHI - Tue, 08/31/2010 - 15:00
...at least that's what he said his name is. He can guarantee me that he can put me on the first page on Google.

And I said, "Jack, Jack, Oh, Jack...Do have any idea how many of these calls I get every day?"

Jack: " I know--there's a couple thousand companies..."

Me: "Jack, suppose only ten percent--200 companies--could actually deliver. There is no room for 22 on the first page. Somebody is lying."

Jack: "We are the only company that has an exclusive contract with Google to make this guarantee..."

Me: "Wait up here a minute. Even if that were so, I am not going to be your only client. I'm not going to pay you guys $500,000 a year so five of you can have a $100,000 salary. So, in order to make payroll your company is going to have to promise more...and more. More than can ever be on the first page of Google.

And in order to support everyone you have to lie to someone--and it ain't gonna be me. Goodbye, Jack."









Besides, if I paid them $500,000 a year I'd be broke in 20 years.

So why am I worried, I probably won't live that long anyway.

GFCI breaker no common

NACHI - Mon, 08/30/2010 - 18:21
Will a GFIC breaker still function as a standard breaker that is as a circuit protector, if the common conductor (white) is not connected to the neutral bus bar?

Thank you
