The guy who needs his ass kicked is.....

[Baphomet]

Let's see, makes my job harder ... Okay, I know. The guy who should get his ass kicked is ME.

For spending an hour troubleshooting a jam problem and then finally printing out the jam codes where the problem is obviously revealed.

For disabling department codes while working on a machine only to get called back because I forgot to re-enable them.

For putting the back cover on with all million screws BEFORE testing the machine.

For leaving the most internal part of a complicated fuser out and not noticing it until I'm gathering my tools.

For spending an hour putting in a main motor only to discover the NEW motor is still in the box (talk about head up the ol' butt).

Gawd I could go on and on, but as not to sound like a total incompetent ... y'all get the idea.

There is not a tech alive that has not made the same mistakes. If they tell you they haven't, they are lying.

I have a foolproof system for not mixing parts up now. When I take a defective part out of a machine I have a small yellow paint marker(touch up stick) and immediately put 2 dots on it. That serves 2 purposes 1 I don't fit it by mistake and 2 when I take it away and put it with everything else I hoard I know not to try and fit it to another machine(done that enough in the past as well)

Got a few for this one.

1. The genius who invented the Kir (1018D and it's bretherin) fusing unit. Damn near impossible to put a new hot roller in without scratching it to buggery, unless you spend half an hour pissing around with the stripper fingers.

2. The designer of the Nad / Adonis / Alex. Death is too good for you.

3. Anyone who asks "any chance of a quick copy" when you've got the machine in 3000 pieces on the floor and you look like you've spent a day down the coal pits.

4. Creators of a certain call dispatching system we are currently having foisted upon us. It makes 98SR2 look like utter brilliance in comparison.

5. Too many to list, the rage is building!!!!
