National Boss Day was first proposed in 1958 by Patricia Bays Haroski, an employee at State Farm Insurance Company, who registered the holiday with the United States Chamber of Commerce. Haroski chose October 16th, her father’s birthday, as a day to express appreciation for bosses and promote good relationships between employees and supervisors.

Today, National Boss Day is celebrated in the United States and in other countries, including Australia, India, and South Africa.

In honor of National Boss Day, Capitol Lighting is offering promotional pricing home and office lighting.  And, Capitol Lighting’s consultants will provide expert advice to help you design the most efficient and effective work environment with beautiful Hubbardton Forge lighting pieces.

Think about it:  You spend a majority of your waking hours at the office; doesn’t it make sense to invest in a great lighting design to increase job satisfaction and productivity?  More than creating a pleasant atmosphere, top quality office lighting will increase accuracy of performance, minimize fatigue and eye strain, and be both energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

The key to great office lighting is to provide plentiful illumination, while eliminating glare and shadows.

If you live within the city of Los Angeles or even in the surrounding suburbs, you have probably been privy to a power outage a time or two. They can be a real drag if you are not prepared. Having a flashlight and candles handy is great, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to simply turn on the light like you normally would when you wanted to read or find something in the cupboard? You can do just that when you have a generator installed by a Los Angeles electrician like those at The Electric Connection.

Standby generators ensure you have a source of power even when the main electric grid is down. You may not want to admit it, but our worlds revolve around power. Nearly everything we do requires electricity. Without it, we are kind of brought to a standstill. Fortunately, most power outages are short-lived, but an outage that extends more than an hour starts to become very bothersome. You are unable to do some of the simplest things like, warm up food, wash the dishes, do a load of laundry or even charge your electronics. Those batteries will only last for so long.

Having a standby generator is an investment you will certainly appreciate when the rest of the neighborhood is sitting in the dark. They go a long way to providing comfort and security. There is little work for you to do when the power goes out if you have a generator installed by an electrician. Los Angeles residents will have a switch installed on the generator that automatically switches the home from the power grid to the backup generator. You may have to reset a few clocks, but other than that, you can keep doing what you normally would. If you are interested in having your home equipped with a generator, give The Electric Connection a call today.
