Hey, good detective work there. You're ready to become a real
electrician. All you gotta do is remember the 3 rules:

1. Hot on the left, cold on the right.
2. Paydays are on Friday.
3. Shit flows downhill.

Oops, I guess that's for being a plumber ...

Electrician:

1. Black is hot.
2. Payday is Friday.
3. Quitting time is 5:00.
