I give up

Re: I give up

At least for me, it's a continuous struggle to put aside tunnel vision. I tend to form an opinion in the first 10 minutes. It's a good thing that those instincts are pretty accurate, because it takes a supreme effort to put aside the wrong impressions, and see the problem again for the first time. Then again ... until the answer becomes clear.

i think the one thing that helps me the most is my page of observations, notes, simulations, component names and signals, even the stuff that doesn't seem to make any sense.

You'll be back on your stride in no time. =^..^=

Re: I give up

LOL, that does sum up my week, talking to other members of my team it would appear that several of us are having a nightmare week, roll on 17:30 tomorrow and the Singapore Grand Prix
And roll on Saturday evening, I am going to see Joan Baez, you youngsters won't have a clue who she is, but you tube her, listen to Diamonds and Rust, I can't wait, she has been high on my "must see" list for a long time

I didn't know Joan Baez was still around.

Re: I give up

I didn't know Joan Baez was still around.

She's in the middle of a world tour, and is doing 4 dates in London, I missed her the last time she toured, so I made sure I got a ticket this time round. This is the last concert I have booked, it will be the first time in over 2 years where I have no music events planned, but I suppose I do have a birthday party to look forward to in 3 weeks time

Re: I give up

Stacking cans may get boring, something we rarely have to worry about. I often use the thought that we Tech's are Knights in shining armor, and problems are dragons. Some days the dragon win, it eats my horse and brakes my lance! Then its back to the ranch for a new Lance & horse to fight the dragon again. I also had doughts when learning to fly, now I am due for my first Bi-Annual flight review and have flown over 200 hours. Still a lot to learn there as here at work, with my friends the copiers.
Your weekend sounds like a great liveware fix, Hope you have a lot of fun and come back ready for more dragons on Monday

Re: I give up

Re: I give up

Copier Karma. Every time a tech has a crappy day, another somewhere has a great day.

Today...

Put image unit in a small Lanier LD017, no contract, they have to buy the fuser so I don't rebuild

Spots on Copies...I cleaned the dirty glass

Shows false jam... I showed them how to properly load paper.

Grindinfg noise on a Lexmark printer...Noise coming from duplexer. "What's a duplexer?" they ask. "Do you do 2 sided prints?" I ask. "No". ..so I removed the duplexer.

Black spot on prints. ..Mark on transfer belt from staple...They have to pay

Thanks Debs!

Re: I give up

Um, I'm pretty sure you gave away the over 30 thing when you mentioned Joan Baez. :P

Re: I give up

Some days I get 'passion fingers' - it means that you F&*$ everything that you touch.

I spend those days in the workshop with a cleaning rag.

Sequence,repetition and condition the stuff programs are made of. We are all programmed one way or another Deb's.

Repetition gives me the sh!ts also. Get through those anouying repetition days as they come and go.
You'll find your purpose and direction again. I tend to lose my direction from time to time it just proves we are all human...

We're over the hump month June,and xmas in December is coming up... Look forward to family at christmas.

Snip ....

I use to tell the secutary and junior office staff that copier tech's are a strange breed.
Technicians are not really socially inept we just work in two worlds. We have to work in the machine world and the people world, and we have to master the ability to switch between both as required.

true...

Some days I feel like I can fix broken glass...others I'm lucky to find a loose screw.
