    Real Techs wear Hawiian Shirts

    And so it came to pass, the great movie "Office Space" begat the term "Hawiian Shirt Friday". And this phrase begat a cult following of real macho manly men who desire to wear festive colorful shirts with busy floral prints and tacky birds and palm trees. Those of you lucky enough to work for a cheap boss who only hands out 1 or 2 company shirts at a time can have more than 1 Hawiian shirt day a week. You see a Hawiian shirt is more than just a beautiful piece of clothing, it is a state of mind. It is your customer thinking that at any moment you may go to the truck for parts and say screw it and get in the truck, leave and start your weekend early.
    Maybe now they will be a little nicer and offer you a coffee or a cash bribe to not ditch thier service call. Perhaps now they will ask not what thier copy guy[or girl] can do for them, but ask what they can do for thier copy guy. I HAVE A DREAM... That one day a copy repairman will not be judged by the color of his tacky Hawiian shirt, but by his tact and finess at showing up for a service call, doing something the customer could have done with the aid of thier operator's manual, taking $100.00 of thier money and not making them feel stupid about it. The time is now for all copy repairmen [and women] to join together in a brotherhood, keeping all office equipment knowledge to ourselves, and claiming the Hawiian shirt as our uniform. With the world at our mercy we can demand that design engineers who make machines a bitch to work on, will be dragged into the street and beaten. My friends, one day young children will point to the burned out, stressed, greying, strange looking old man, twiching and mumbling to himself and wearing a festive colorful shirt, and say " mommy, I want to be like that guy when I grow up", right before thier mommy takes them for a drug test. And that is why REAL TECHS WEAR HAWIIAN SHIRTS.!

    You must have had a busy day on Bragg to think that one up. So, tomorrow is HSF then, huh? Alright. Let's get it started again. By the way, hilarious post!

    Wow! I feel so inspired!!

    I don't get a Hawaiian Shirt Day, but I do get to choose which identical black company-logo'ed shirt I will wear.

    What a dream!
    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 also am a perpetual fan of Office Space. I can watch that movie again and again. It's just too true....

    Include me in the Hawaiian underwear group.

    Cool

    We are cleaning out our building of tons of old minolta stuff because a 580 machine contract is coming to an end. Some unsuspecting Di470 is going to get the office space treatment. By the way, our secret password is "PC load letter, what the hell does PC load letter mean".

    I would see if I had a DI 450 to beat on instead the somewhat improved DI 470

    Hawaiian shirt Friday

    Hey guys! I wear an aloha shirt every day. Mainly because I live on the island of Hawaii and my customers all expect it. Lately I've taken to wearing shorts as well as te weather is beginning to warm up and it even gets up to the 80's. Hawaii has such a laid back attitude. I love it here.

    Aloha,
    Mr. Bill (Oh Noooo!)

    That's not fair. You should be made to put on a plain boring blue shirt every Friday to honor your bros on the rest of the planet.
