[DAG COPIERS & COMPUTERS]

Re: I work with imbeciles!!!

On the subject of techs who cannot do for themselves, The last class I went to Atlanta to attend, I was dumbfounded to watch as the instructor had to take class time to show some of the class how to copy a file from a thumb drive. Let me repeat that, COPY AND PASTE. It took more than a little while for him to do that. Am I wrong in thinking that a copy repair person should have basic computer skills?? Maybe that is why senior tech field a lot of calls. The junior ones are computer illiterate and don't know how to look it up. I may not be the sharpest tack in the box, but I left that class feeling like a gennie. wait, I meant geanious. Hold on, geinouss, damn it, can someone tell me how to use spell check?

Who told you that people any longer want to read? The culture of reading is dying out in our society. People simply want to be entertained; watch tv programs, be on social websites etc.

Hello Debs. I have a question for you. What is a hard drive. Thanks

Hello Debs. I have a question for you. What is a hard drive. Thanks

It's when you need to travel several hundred miles, over a bumpy road, at night, when you're tired and have a full bladder. Hope that helps

As long as you have a hard drive you are in good shape. It's when it reverts back to a floppy that you got problems.

Some people float around in a delusional state and believe they are just as smart as others who have put in the effort to really understand how to research and solve problems.

I do believe we live in a world full of mindlessly selfish people who have no concept of how much work goes into fixing problems where there is no clear cut answer to be found.

Somehow they believe you must have all the answers to any random question/problem that pops up.

Unfortunately, I usually do, I have the sort of brain that remembers useless facts and figures, but ask me to be observant or to identify someone from a photo and I'm hopeless

The key is to refrain from opening your mouth whenever you know the answer to a question except in rare cases where it might benefit you (like in front of an important customer or your boss or something like that). Let everyone else think you're a moron and it'll save you a lot of time...

Re: I work with imbeciles!!!

Sometimes when I'm asked if I know a part number, I make one up and wait for them to write it down before I tell them that I don't really know it.

One of the guys I work with got so fed up with the phone calls before someone got on site to look for the solution themselves, that when he was asked if he had any idea what was causing copy quality problems on a high volume copier, he told them to look for an obstruction in the finisher LOL. When the other tech asked if that could really cause CQ? He told him to stop being so bloody stupid, and to go and try to sort it out himself!! LOL

I've found that sometimes even when you give a tech a good suggestion that will probably fix the problem, they'll see how much actual work it would take (taking apart the machine and such) a end up asking someone else hoping for an easier fix.

Oh yes, I've known ones like that, we had one, a few years ago, that would call round at least 3 or 4 of us, and get the same response from us all, what he was really fishing for was for one of us to offer to come and help him
