I got them Monday blues

So I feel like I am on the way to a good start this morning. As any of you know, the first repair sets the pace for the day. I have a Bizhub 600 kicking the paper out on the main tray and then showing a jam. I know this one, the end of the exit actuator is worn down about an eighth of an inch, throwing off the timing. Hell we even have a part in stock. Copier is working when I show up, putting prints on the sub tray. I swap out the actuator and then it shows a jam. NO WAY. I check everything, still a jam. I drive back to the shop and get another actuator and photocell assembly off a parts machine, still shows a jam. I call tech support and wait about 30 min, then get in the truck and drive back to the shop, still on hold, and when I walk in the wharehouse, I loose the signal after an hour on hold. *&#@**#. I have no more fn 504 but I find a 602 and the owner lets me swap it out. And by the end of the day the manager has another tech looking at it like I am an idiot now. I think last Monday started the same way. I started by changing the developer on a 420 and locking the machine up. Monday just sucks!!!

I agree, Monday's should suck cat's testicles in hell. Tuesday's aren't much better. I went to a Martini first call jamming in the finisher. Had a quick look inside and one of the paper flippers on the stack feed out belt was missing. Okay, thinks me. Let's give the finisher a jiggle and see if I can find it. Out comes the flipper, washer and nut. No screw. BASTARD! So now I have an RTF for one, I say again, one screw. I hate mornings, Mondays or not!

I find going to the mall and putting slinkies on the escalators helps.

I play video games when I get home to get rid of any stress when I get home.

I'd like to try that, but there isn't an escalator in the whole town.

O.K. anybody see that episode of Dilbert where he lost "the knack". I am worried. My Monday has rolled over into Tuesday. I made a wrong call on a color450 jamming and another tech went behind me and fixed it without ordering the expensive parts. Fortunately she is a friend and did not stab me in the back. I then went to do a drum, dv box change on a bizhub 250, easy stuff, right? I got distracted talking to the customer and ran F-8 without clearing the counters, and found out you do not recover from that. I had to use the old box and developer to make it run. Then went to put a fan on a fax and pulled the wires out of the speaker. As I am rechipping 2 color IU's, I wonder why the yellow did not come up, well it did and I had to drive to the shop for another chip, and of course fishing the staples out of the lawyers di5510 has now tur5ned into a fuser rebuild and major PM. Oh and lets not forget the shredder company mailing my parts for two customers to the one customer who can't get her machine fixed because her part is on back order. So now I have to go to a pissed off customer to ask for my parts so the other people can get fixed. Anybody know a copier witchdoctor who works for toner, I need this hex removed.
