    I was always worried I'd get pulled into a machine by my neck, so I usually wore a clip on tie.

    We used to have to work on the big heavy duty shredders, those I was real good about unplugging the machine whenever I had to touch it. I usually don't unplug copiers, sometimes I forget to even turn them off, although sometimes you pay for that when you get hit with 120vac in front of the customer!

    A number of years back, quite a few dealers actually required clip on ties - to protect their techs.

    I used to have a collection of them when we were required to wear ties.

    The only bad thing is that you can't loosen it up when it's hot - or when you're workin' like a dog.

    I was on course with a guy who had a service call to do at a bank that was out of town. Their was a big snow storm but they were screaming to get the copier fixed so he went out and ended up in a major accident, dam near was killed. Busted up his legs pretty bad. They called demanding to know were the tech was. When they were told what happened all they asked was when was another guy comming out.

    I think there may be a lot of folks on Copytechnet who are too young to remember "Ghostbusters". ...sigh....

    About the only copier then was carbon paper. Not much maintenance required.
