Discovery
So I have just by accident discovered while vacuuming that all the power to everything in my apartment save two plugs in the kitchen and one for the air conditioner are running from ONE circuit. All my lights, computers, fridge, freezer, plugs, computers, fans ... everything. I know this because I blew a fuse while vacuuming (a silly thing to be doing, I admit) and the entire place went dark, the UPSs for the computers started beeping and there was mostly silence in the land of John. I thought the power had gone out except that the clock on the stove was still working. There are four fuses in the fuse box and I had always assumed that the power load was more or less divided equally between them. Shows you what I know... I've labeled the four fuses now: plug by sink, plug by stove, plug by AC, EVERYTHING ELSE!
