    Said it in the analog days of copiers yet still saying the same thing in the digital age of copiers.

    You've fixed em before, and you'll fix em again. I also have days I cant fix my way out of a piss soaked paper bag. I usually attribute it to lack of focus.

    I spoke with someone the other day that told me "their brain was giving them the silent treatment". I liked that comment.

    LOL, that does sum up my week, talking to other members of my team it would appear that several of us are having a nightmare week, roll on 17:30 tomorrow and the Singapore Grand Prix
    And roll on Saturday evening, I am going to see Joan Baez, you youngsters won't have a clue who she is, but you tube her, listen to Diamonds and Rust, I can't wait, she has been high on my "must see" list for a long time

    You'll be starting off next week with a whole new (hopefully good) frame of mind.

    At least for me, it's a continuous struggle to put aside tunnel vision. I tend to form an opinion in the first 10 minutes. It's a good thing that those instincts are pretty accurate, because it takes a supreme effort to put aside the wrong impressions, and see the problem again for the first time. Then again ... until the answer becomes clear.

    i think the one thing that helps me the most is my page of observations, notes, simulations, component names and signals, even the stuff that doesn't seem to make any sense.

    You'll be back on your stride in no time. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    I didn't know Joan Baez was still around.
    I know I should be ashamed of myself. Strangely though, I am not.

    She's in the middle of a world tour, and is doing 4 dates in London, I missed her the last time she toured, so I made sure I got a ticket this time round. This is the last concert I have booked, it will be the first time in over 2 years where I have no music events planned, but I suppose I do have a birthday party to look forward to in 3 weeks time

    Stacking cans may get boring, something we rarely have to worry about. I often use the thought that we Tech's are Knights in shining armor, and problems are dragons. Some days the dragon win, it eats my horse and brakes my lance! Then its back to the ranch for a new Lance & horse to fight the dragon again. I also had doughts when learning to fly, now I am due for my first Bi-Annual flight review and have flown over 200 hours. Still a lot to learn there as here at work, with my friends the copiers.
    Your weekend sounds like a great liveware fix, Hope you have a lot of fun and come back ready for more dragons on Monday

    God grant me the serenity to accept stupid people , the courage to not waste my time and energy on them , and the wisdom to know that I cannot fix STUPID .
