I had just replaced a fuser in a printer in a lawyers office and was in the next room working on the document feeder on one of the copiers when I heard her say "Praise Jesus, my printer is working again". I stuck my head in her door and ask"Praise who?" She looked at me a little surprised and then said "Thank You". The way I see it, if I Jesus could have fixed it, they wouldn't have paid me to do it.

Re: Give credit where it is due...
It's really more of a mystical pagan ceremony, involving the drawing of blood from an unwilling technician to please the copier gods.
When the gods are pleased the copier can work again. Candles, incense? Not usually. Tools? Sure.
See? Simple. =^..^=If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
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: Give credit where it is due...
The Lawyer is right, according to her 'Belief system' it is God who provides for her needs day by day. She Being a devoted Christian I suppose, knows that "Jesus and the FATHER are ONE", and that's why she gave praise actually to the ''FATHER"...(meaning GOD), but through Jesus! When her printer was DOWN, her work work schedule was interrupted, and with it her source of Livelihood. She must have prayed to God to give her the money to repair the printer, i.e to pay you the tech who did the work. This prayer, according to the Christian doctrine MUST always be channeled through Jesus. And her prayers were answered. She got the money to pay for the spare and your labor! So why wouldn't she give praise to Jesus?...for even enabling the tech not only to respond to her call but also to travel safely, and fix the machine? Shouldn't you also really thank God for giving you that opportunity to do her work?Comment

Re: Give credit where it is due...
Since you ask me a direct question, I will give you an answer. NO, I do not talk to , or beg favors from invisible nonexistent beings. Everything I have is because of me. Everything that happens to me, is my doing. I am where I am in life because of decisions I have made. When I do good deeds it is not because I fear an invisible man will throw me into a lake of fire. it is because doing good makes me feel good.
You see Dag, I am an atheist, and pretty much everybody else is also. When you speak of God, you speak of the Christian God. From the beginning of recorded history about 10,000 years ago in Syria, there is evidence that around 2850 Gods have been created by men. I do not believe in all 2850 of them and you do not believe in 2849 of them..
This should hopefully end the religious talk. I just was posting an amusing thing that happened.

Re: Give credit where it is due...
Well, I was only trying to 'interpret' the other Lawyer's ''praise words''. IT is a well known fact that Atheism & Theism are two different things. The two 'dont see eye-2-eye'. So I ,as a Christian, cannot enter into any religious debate with you, although it is an obligation on my part, actually a DUTY, as a Christian,to win converts to my side, but with love & patience. However, one fact is indisputable,and this has been proved by both Science and technology: The ''invisible Forces are more powerful than the Visible forces''. That is how you & I are able to communicate our ideas and feelings in Real time though we are thousands of miles apart. The universe with everything in it, planets inclusive, for all we know, is held together by Invisible force.Comment
