Since I was touching the ductwork at the time, that modern also went through me, so I didn’t realize how suddenly the power went out because I was already unconscious.
The term “going haywire” means that something is totally off the rails and out of control. I believe it’s interesting that the origin of the word had nothing to do with electricity. It developed in the 1920s in farming territory, and referred to when something was so broken you could only service it using hay baling wire, hay wire, get it? I l acquired all of this recently, after I made a mistake with a live wire and shocked myself into the hospital. I was warned not to do the Heating and A/C repairs myself, and in hindsight I believe I should have listened. I had mistakenly touched a live wire to the side of a metal ductwork, which had caused an immediate and dramatic reaction. The modern spread through the entire ductwork system, which was enough of an event to fry the circuit breakers in the fuze box. Since I was touching the ductwork at the time, that modern also went through me, so I didn’t realize how suddenly the power went out because I was already unconscious. It was very not our finest hour, which is why our husband already called a local Heating and A/C business to clean up our mess and service what I could not. I will be here for a few mornings, and by the time I go condo the live wire will be capped and the Heating and A/C method will be working better than ever. I will actually never mess around with the heating or cooling method ever again, I can’t afford another shock to the method enjoy that.
