You carry tools in tour pocket when you are not at work " just in case"
You have toner fingerprints on your face no one will tell you about.
Your friends and family want you do do free fixes on your time.
Your customers try to get you to cheat your company and do side work.
You try to adjust the grid voltage on your tv when the picture is fuzzy.
You can advise people on how to copy their ass without breaking the
copier or leaving marks.
It really pisses you off to be called the "Xerox Guy", unless you work for
Xeox.
You have ever used tools from your box to eat or prepare your lunch with
You learn the art of bullshit to deal with customers.
You get excited when you see your brand of copier on a TV show
You talk about how cool " Office Space " is
You know you don't know it all and you want to know more.
You have thought about making glass table tops out of original glass
For a guy, a room full of women happy to see you , makes your day.
You make fun of techs who use cheap tools because "they are not really into it"
You think "Toner" is a cool name for a black cat.
You describe your wife's tan as "half tones that need more shading"
You know that "drum bias" does not mean you are prejudiced against drums
When some one says "corona", you think wire instead of beer
You can find another tech in a crowd by yelling "Does any one know what a fuser is?"
When buying pants, you show the salesperson toner under your fingernails and tell them to match it.
You go online to talk with techs from around the world who "Know what you are going through"
You consider salespeople "another species", not really human
You have thought of making a wind chime out of old drums
You really need that specialty tool, even though you may only use it once every 5 years.
You like to explain how a color copier works to regular people, just so you can see the "Deer caught in headlights" look on their face.
You know that two techs debating whose brand is best could put a room full of people to sleep
You know way too much information about paper.
