Man, that feeling when a weird trick from an old timer actually works is the best. Sounds like a total nightmare shift, stuck on the river in the dark. Those moments of pure relief when you avoid a huge shutdown make all the stress worth it. What did the foreman say when he finally showed up?

Slow cookers are great but wade_lee is right, you can't eat it if you're stuck at work.

But doesn't that just wake you up more?

My friend, like @emma_ramirez, tracked her snacks and found a similar money pit last month.

Totally agree... my maidenhair fern was a total diva under my grow light setup. Moved it to my bathroom counter where it only gets the morning light from a small frosted window and it's never been happier. Sometimes the fancy gear just stresses them out. My pothos on the other hand will grow anywhere, even in my dark hallway.
