Same here just not from the switch. Un-plug old patch panel outlet move to new outlet. Drives them crazy that I can do that and know where everything is. Of course it helps to keep a good spreadsheet of which outlet and who and what the have in their office. The only drawback is my junior likes to make changes and then forgets to let me know he made them. Means I have to go to each panel in each building and retrace all the panel to switch wires every few months.
