Hey Mr Technician, there's a wire disconnected

Where? Which one?

I don't know :(

I assume they knew precisely which cable was where and all that. I bet it was all labelled with handwritten notes (probably cursive) and they must've had a ledger book etc. Pretty fascinating stuff to think about tbh.

lol .... imagine reporting into work one day and realizing the ledger or handwritten notes have been lost, burned, destroyed or missing
