  1.  @theenzoferrari458  in a large number of cases, large companies need formal repair request mechanisms, because the person who can order the repair (and resultant costs) is well-sperated from the problem that needs fixing. And this isn't even bad design; take a large warehousing operation, for instance. You've got, say, a half dozen forklifts, a score of power jacks, a couple trailer tugs, and maybe a couple score power lifts, and a hundred or more employees, all in a 200,000 square foot facility. Letting the maintenance manager know that a tug failed on the swing shift means that you either rely on the person you tell about a problem remembers to pass it on to the night shift, who remembers to pass it on to the maintenance manager in the morning, or you call it in when you wake up, if you remember, or you submit a trouble ticket. Easy to guess which method is the least painful and most reliable. And that's just for one discreet location. What if it's four warehouses in three states? You probably only still need one maintenance manager, but now he's probably not even in the same state as you.

  2. That's the good kind of manager; he took the retribution in good grace.

  5. I have racks of 85 watt incandescent bulbs for sale at work (big box hardware store); it's not that uncommon.
