Some rules we all learn when repairing the machines and dealing with customers.

- When a loose screw falls to the ground, it will always be half-an-inch farther that what you can reach with your magnetized screwdriver tip

This one ocurred to me yesterday when I was on my knees fishing screws from under a machine I was servicing.

I thought being a part of this community, and following the rules as posted, that this section of copytechnet, was the place to post any subject not related to technical questions or manual requests. It seems that posting your view about religion is not acceptable. What I posted in my view was not offensive in any way, but was removed from the Rants and raves section within 4 minutes.

I have tried to contact a modorator but have had no answer yet.

is this section for anything goes subject wise or not?

if not what are the limitations on subject matter?

I will obey the rules, but if I have been censured just because someone does not agree with what I have posted then that is wrong.

Please give me some guidance on this matter. ]]> Rants, Raves, and Everything Else Morlock49 http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/rants-raves-everything-else/27285-just-what-allowed-rants-raves.html Jokes http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/rants-raves-everything-else/27284-jokes.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 04:08:38 GMT Sometimes us techs get very serious, but this is also the place for jokes (I hope) try to keep them clean :rolleyes: if you can so I will start...

Especially when you're doing a repair that takes a while, people tend to forget you're there and speak freely . . . sometimes a little too freely.

I'm fixing a copier at a funeral home (always the best place for this sort of thing) and I hear this from the guy on the phone in the next room:

"So the fetus is still at the morgue?"

Don’t give me a hard time, I didn’t sell it too you.

You’re only a real estate agent, your not as important as you think you are.

You payed how much? Usually they retail for $5000 less than that.

If the old copier worked better than this one, why did you let the salesman talk you into buying a new one?

Don’t you understand the concept of a lease? Even if you send it back to us you still have to pay the leasing company every month.

The Managing Directors home phone number is…………..

Did you pass the I.Q. test that’s a pre-condition to purchasing a photocopier?

If you break your copier again I’m taking it away and leaving you with some carbon paper. ]]> Rants, Raves, and Everything Else Lagonda http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/rants-raves-everything-else/27170-things-you-would-love-say-customer.html <![CDATA[I'm still waiting for my free stuff]]> http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/rants-raves-everything-else/27090-im-still-waiting-my-free-stuff.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:47:35 GMT When is Steve Jobs going to sen me my free MacBook Image:...

The two people were in their 80's easily and very nice. While I was cleaning the already spotless copier, I was glancing around the room. Next to the copier was a desk with a typewriter on it. Next to the typewriter was laying 2 pieces of paper with copies of prescriptions on it. I glanced at the top paper and then it caught my eye, the name on the script was Elvis Presley. There were 6 scripts and they were dated Aug.4 1976, which would have been the date he did a concert in town. I do not know why they had em, I did not ask.
One time I had cleaned a color machine at a church in the country, and I looked at the preachers desk and saw letter opened with Delta Force logo on top, the real delta force, not the video game. I guess he was about the right age to have been an original member.
Ever hear the Harlem Globetrotters theme song "Sweet Georgia Brown" ? She was a real person.

What Makes 100%?

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%.

How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top. ]]> Rants, Raves, and Everything Else 10871087 http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/rants-raves-everything-else/26811-giving-110-a.html
