I recently started training for a different job for my employer of about 8 years, moving from phone based customer service to in-the-field service & installation of alarm systems. It's a lot to learn, but we have some very knowledgeable techs who are happy to help, as well as a very solid training program.
One of the techs, however, is a bit of an outlier. He's a nice enough guy, but he has some odd notions about things, and he's stubborn about sharing them. Part of this, I suspect, is due to the fact that he's a (relatively) young 23, working alongside techs who've been doing this job for almost twice his lifespan.
Still, he knows more about alarms than I do, so I'm happy to learn.
Mostly.
Yesterday I was working a job with him, and he took a moment to explain how batteries work. See, batteries have a positive and a negative terminal. Electrons flow out of the negative terminal, and protons flow from the positive terminal.
How about that! Nuclear physics happening right now in your smart phone!
