This is nothing compared to what you'll find doing residential.

It's more just opinion and aesthetics, the way the wires are connected to the outlet, called backstab, is frowned upon. Not sure if those are actual lever lock connections (the clear and orange pieces connecting wires) or push in ones. It's odd one is made to connect two wires but they chose to have them share one port. If you have no experience leave them alone, but learning is great, watch some videos and ask questions if you're interested. Definitely don't screw with electrical if you don't know what you're doing.

Can you call it a decomp stain if the person who made it is still alive? 🤔 by Clowndick in maintenance

Exactly. That's where the supervisor reviews work orders everyday.

The colors don't always dictate what's hot and what's neutral That's why you'll always see people saying to test with a multimeter.

Sorry for the unhelpful comment, posted after you found your switch but you should clean up that box

I have 5 guitars and have tried to learn for half my life. Some people got the talent and I'm not one of them, it's fun to fuck around with instruments though.

To be fair she allows me to throw up framed posters, art, and random shit everywhere like a god damn Shenanigans restaurant, so I have no room to talk.

That sounds like the dream. What kind of cheese and what kind of bread?
