What was your biggest oopsy on a call??

[Shadow1]

I'm glad y'all can find amusement in my bodily functions. Maybe I should give you my wife's email address - she isn't as easily entertained. And of course, if you ask her she farts rose petals.

"Yes Dear, of course dear... When did they die?"

Shadow1: Seriously now, have you ever considered writing a book? It's not everyone that can use your style!

[Shadow1]

I have thought about it, but my problem is I run out of material on any given subject before I can make a book out of it, and a lot of my best stories are too far unrelated to put in the same book.

I guess I could header a chapter with a good story and make that the theme for a chapter, but I've got 2 kids (2 and 10) which doesn't leave enough time to take a good dump some days (maybe part of yesterday's problem...) let alone sit down at the computer for a few hours a day for weeks on end.

I guess I could keep posting things, then go back in a few years and compile "The Collective Works of Mr. Copier Guy"

And by the way, I'm downloading the "Dueling Banjo's" tune on my phone on the off chance of a repeat performance.Like the old saying: Just for S**ts and Giggles...

[mrwho]

Blog it, then! I'd subscribe it!

SHADOW 1: Thank you so so much for that I'm sitting here crying my eyes out with laughter, seriously telling stories like that you are a natural for stand up.

Major kudos to you for telling that.

Shadow that is just downright toilet humour.

So while we are on the subject in a former life I used to be a Maintenance Fitter in a large factory making car windows.
Our night shifts used to start at 11.00pm. There was always two fitter on a shift. This particular night my partner called in sounding distressed saying he would be late.

Any way when he eventually arrived he explained that on the way in he had uncontrollable urge to move some solid matter out the rear entrance if you know what I mean.

So in state of panick he pulled up at Railway Station and raced into the toilets. Of course the light had been broke so it was pitch black. He proceeded to rip his strides down and do his business. Unfortunately someone had crapped all over the toilet seat.
Then just to top it off there was no toilet paper.

Terrible story I know but geez I laughed when he told me. I still laugh now only because it wasn't me of course.

One more reason why I keep a very bright keychain flashlight.

Of course, a flashlight wouldn't have done a hell of a lot of good in THAT situation!!!!

I guess my thoughts of, "Why is it when there are 20 stalls and you choose one, that someone else comes in and chooses the next damn stall over not creating ANY sort of buffer zone" holds NOTHING to this one.

In case this ever happens again, I've downloaded the Dueling Banjo's tune on my blackberry.

Just for Shits & Giggles

If I keep telling tales about the ooopsys that happen to other techs
every body might think that I think that I am/was perfect!
Not to worry! This tale is about what happened to one of our
female techs, and the oopsy wasn't because the tech was
female!

She took a call on a XEROX 2830 at the airbase in Winnipeg.
The machine needed a new power supply, which she ordered,
and installed when it arrived. She had given the 2830 some
tender loving care as she waited for the PS.

PS installed, most of the covers back on, plug copier in,
turn the copier on and.......................................
smoke billowing out of the machine and the little
room that was its home!
Alarms went off, whole building emptied, proving that the emergency
measures worked as promised..
This machine was in the 17 Wing headquarters building, and this
all happened as a huge NORAD meeting was taking place. And it was
raining out side. So sad.
Lots of investigating took place and the smoke was the fault of the XEROX copier.

The real reason for the smoke and flames was because the wiring
harness had two jacks of the same configuration, one low volts
and the other one for high voltage, and no warnings about
two plug jacks that could be installed incorrectly. Smokey Xerox machine replaced by some thing more modern tech did not land in jail,
nor did we go to war with the Russians.

I believe that some months before this episode I had taken a call on
a 2830, that required a power supply.
I ordered a new PS, and when it arrived I installed it.
Plug machine in, turn it on and............................
SMOKE!!!!
Building evacuated all 4 staff members out side. They didn't
opt for a newer copier, so we did a "like for like", saved my butt etc.
Proof positive that any gender of techs does not guarantee
immunity to finger trouble.

Lots of bulletins hit the mail system and these errors happened
less frequently.

This tale usually comes out after some beers, and all the
victims of the smokey machine join in the laughter!
