Weekend with a wet saw shop vac chiseling cement laying conduit and pouring some hydraulic cement sounds fun to me.

you know guys, (just to make myself more humiliated), I just thought since you can remote the garage door etc, there might be some kind of product that would work for this earth shattering issue, lol.
Sorry Kim, the link was actually directed at the other fellas here...it was certainly not intended to make you feel bad. And as mentioned the only stupid question is the one you never ask and don't get answered.

You could using something like these under the carpet:

I may get pounced on for suggesting the less-than-optimal route. And those guards might not work for you because you don't want a hump in or on your carpet. BTW if you put it under the carpet in a guard expect the carpet that runs above it to wear much more rapidly than the rest.

The best solution would be to peel back the carpet and cut a channel into the concrete to run a power line in and then install a receptacle recessed in the floor, but it would be expensive if you don't do it yourself.

That looks like a good option but I would not put it under a carpet just get a color that matches the carpet or looks good.

We use something similar at work.
Conference table sitting in the middle of the room, power and LAN in the walls, and no one likes to saw cut the floor.
