Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
If you have the upper body strength. I've also hang from the rafters (both arms using the chinup position) and let my lower body relax while twisting my hips side to side. I'll some times feel a clicking/pop sensation an all seems well from there.
The missus quite often asks me to give her a serious bear hug; it puts her upper back into place. I keep asking her can we try this with no cloths on .... I get the usual smug look.

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
While in the shop yesterday working on a problem Ricoh, I was ask to take a call from someone with a shredder question. This is usually someone who is older and has a cheap shredder not worth repair. I took the call and that is exactly what it was. I spent a few minutes and gave the gentleman some info as to what may fix it. 15 minutes later he called back. I let out that long sigh, expecting more questions. Instead, he had called back to thank me for my time and tell me my advice fixed his machine.

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
Just a comment really. My day went as usual....wait about in my house as Call Controller had not programmed me a job for this morning..as usual! At 10am get an email telling me to get in my car and drive 70miles to the office and collect parts for a return to fit at a customer in a town nearby to our office..why could a local tech not do it? Why was I not given this call yesterday evening so could have started out early? Never mind ......I finish working this Thursday.....retirement at last after 24.5 years of toner eating. I will miss some customers...just some! I will miss the CSI job and the satisfaction of getting a machine to give up the reason for annoying me.
I wish you all the best for your futures in toner..............
Please do not PM me without asking first.Comment

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
You are assuming there is some logic to the management decisions. If there is some sort of logic, I haven't figured it out yet. The only rule seems to be running up the maximum number of miles to the furthest destination. There seems to be no point in puzzling over it. =^..^=Just a comment really.

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.

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
Mrs Lagonda was always complaining of back pain until she had a trip to the dentist. The dentist had to use a general anesthetic on her to knock her out, its the only way to stop her talking long enough to do a filling, and when she awoke her back was pain free!At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.Comment

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
Since back problems seem to a big part of our industry perhaps we should be following the the lead taken by the shearers. A bit of support while you bend over makes a world of difference.At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.Comment

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
So happy. My leave was approved. I can stay at home and play games the whole of next week wooooo
Okay not really, there are quite a few things that life is demanding I sort out, but at least I will have the time and energy to deal with all that (and still fit in some vidya)
Do the rest of you get a break this time of year? Our company has a retail front, so we're pretty open the entire time except for Christmas and New Years day - Even the techs are required to come to work during this period which gets pretty tedious because there is not enough work to keep everyone busy.
Can't wait for my week of freedom

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
I'm on call next week. I am told by several people (who would know the answer to my question) that we do NOT work on Christmas day. Not even in an emergency, where fixing a printer jam is the only thing that will prevent the device from detonating and save the city, no... not on Christmas. We leave that shit for John McClane, or Chuck Norris, or MacGyver, or some sort of Super-man. Or "double-O sheven".
So even if I get an after-hours call on 25 December, I am not to go. Difficult thing to convince a soldier to do, not go when called.
But SO HELP ME, if I get an after-hours call on Christmas Eve, I will be wearing a festive hat to that call, no matter where it is. Professionalism goes out the window if you take me away from my family on Christmas Eve. And I shall jingle all the bloody way, for my hat shall bear at least one bell.

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
Typically this time of year slows down. Were we not 3 techs down that might be the case. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:

Re: So How Has Your Day Gone...?!
In the 20 years that I spent as a field tech the number of times I ran out of jobs you could count on one hand. Usually there was two or three jobs waiting for me. These days we are always telling the techs to go and have a cup of coffee and we'll call you when something turns up.
The machines are getting better and the copy count per month is slowly dropping, how much longer have we got before we're all thrown on the scrap heap?At least 50% of IT is a solution looking for a problem.Comment
