Re: You know you are a tech because...

you can eat cheese burger, hold the drink and shift gears with one hand, email with your blackberry in the other hand, and drive with your knees going 65 down the freeway.

only to find out when you walk in the customers office that you have a mustard/mayo/ketchup stain on your tie and shirt because the flipper at Mc D know that you would be five mile from the restaurnt before you discovered that they gave you a regular hamburger with extra mayo, extra mustard, and extra ketchup!

maybe wrong thread?

You see, I keep telling people that back in the 80's, I learned to steer a car with my knees so I could free up both hands to roll a, I mean to hold my burger and drink.

You see photocopiers in Xbox360 games. Left4Dead 2 has several Adonises in one level. I take great delight in emptying an Uzi's clip into them. Shame it isn't real.

TV programmes also. The Top Gear with Clarkson and the little blue car, the Peel P50. Around the 7-minute mark there's a Russian-C4 with an SR790 about to be squished. Cracking telly.

I don't know if you noticed but there's some HP 42xx/43xx series printers in it too. Of course, he drives by it so fast I couldn't see which one.

Man you know, I've never met a tech that couldn't drive with their knees. Reminds me of a story:

I made myself a tomato & mayo sandwich (tomato fresh out of the garden, it was awesome BTW) one day and was driving to a call. A cop pulled in behind me out of nowhere and that sandwich slid across the top of my dashboard like a water skier in chop and ended up in the passenger window. Cop passed me laughing his head off. My dash shone like a mirror for almost a month. I wonder mayo polishes anything else good like that? Hmmm...

When you can tell which colour unit you worked on most in one day by the colour of what is left in your tissue.

On a slightly different note, every time I see WTF? I think of waste toner full. Anyone have anymore of these?

You know you are a tech because it works better after you have touched it.

When the waiter hands you the menu you check for copy quality issues before looking to see whats to eat.

Menus aren't the worst of it. have you ever walked past one of those boards where everyone has their flyers posted? I was staring at one for several minutes a while back, and the gf thought I was looking at the bands that were playing. I was actually trying to see if I could guess the manufacturer that the different flyers were printed on. Around ten years or so ago, when I was working on canon analogs, I could see that half-black print from a canon a mile away.

I read the local paper real estate guides, then show up on site the next day with parts to repair the machine they didn't know had an issue.

I have done it for so long that I get relaxed with it and have almost got caught. I can't count the number of times that I have driven past MP's { military police } with my right arm across the top of the seat and my left holding a cup of coffee as I pass one in a patrol car, while talking on my blue tooth. [$300 fine to be seen holding a phone and driving on a military base ] A couple of them have turned around and ran me down but by the time they catch me, I have my hands at 10 and 2. One of them pulled me one day and ask me about my driving with no hands. I told him he must be mistaken because you would have to be an idiot or a copy repair man to drive like that. He looked to be 20 and did not get my sarcasm, but let me go.
