@glass42 @amberetta the outlet was giving uneven surges and it was super loose. So I think as it kept getting unplugged while using it, the surges were uneven. Some weird explanation, but there was a note that the outlet was supposed to checked out weeks ago and no one has checked it 🙄. I’m not sure why they haven’t been on top of it because there weren’t any other station there for me to work at then. I want to buy a surge protector to now carry to work, which is annoying but also makes me feel safe.

Surge suppressors are rated by joules. The higher the joules rating, the bigger the surge you are protected from. https://electronics.howstuffworks.com/gadgets/home/surge-protector7.htm
