Specific car company, or supplier?
If a specific car company, would you care to name them? You know where this is going...

You have left enough clues over the years to make a qualified guess possible. 
(I have two actually, but they're geographically quite close to each other)

Congratulations!
If you tried that at my company, it would be rather interesting. We have a habit of taking perfectly good engineers and turning them into utterly wretched managers through surgery: they remove your brain, your spine, and if you're male, your *cough* two best friends *cough*. If you were smart enough to save all of these on your original ascension to the vaunted halls of manager-hood, the restoration shouldn't be too horrible.

Not everything is back yet[^], but I will try and man up. 
My company is a real good one, and I had only good managers so far, so it is not a matter of skills, it is a matter of philosophy - To me, increasing profit by two figures percentage every year is physically impossible, and I cannot stand behind things I do not believe in, let alone talk others into believing them.

Have you tried Nexium?

You get used to it after some time, so no medication. But everything is velcroed to my desk, pretty much the anti-world of the ISS

Wow! A quadruple anagram is a Quicky? I'm glad you didn't do a Slowy.

The rest of the world thanks you for flipping the switch to turn everything back on.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Because mine is the traditional "chuck it in the cable drawer ..." which is ... um ... unhelpful, if quick to implement initially.
I changed ISP today, so I needed to configure everything to the new WiFi: fun, fun, fun.
The printer: the WPS button didn't do the job, so I had to manually connect it - except it has no user interface, just ON / OFF, and WPS buttons. So it's "connect via USB" and Samsung software.
Which is fine, if you have any idea where the right USB cable is - "Standard USB"1 one end, and "BST"2 the other. And I had to look at every cable in the drawer to find it. Twice. I found it the third time, because I was expecting it to be black and it was blue. 
Basically, I need a way to organise these damn things so I can find the cable I need (USB, HDMI, mains, CAT5, modem, you know the pile ...) and that isn't going to attract the cat to new playthings ...
Any ideas? I can't be the only one with this problem!

Don't organise the cables by colour...
I just have separate plastic shopping bags for each cable type - earphones, audio cables, HDMI cables (separate bags for full/full, full/mini, full/micro), USB cables (separate bags for A/B, A/mini, A/micro, A/C ...), ... . All the shopping bags are placed in a large box with compartments, grouped according to category - earphones, audio, HDMI, USB, ...
To find a USB A/B cable, I go to the USB compartment, find the USB A/B bag, and voila. If a bag does not exist, I know that I have no such cable (or my wife/daughters have pinched one without telling me  )
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Trouble is that all such bags over here are now biodegradable - they fall apart to dusty fragments in around 6 months ... apart from "bag for life" ones, which seem to last about 7.

I use ordinary ziplock/etc storage bags of various sizes (sandwich to gallon) depending on what type of cable is in in them; some are probably 15 years old and all are holding up well.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That sounds exactly like my current system, but mine is a bureau instead of a chest of drawers.
