Re: I give up

.. ...
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...

LOL, I always tell people I do machines I don't do people, when dad was in hospital, any time he needed anything doing, I deferred to mum, who used to be a nurse, or my sister, who is a carer, but when the A&E copier was jamming, I went and helped them out

Surely I don't look that old

I think I remember being 30 lol, it's almost 30 years since I started getting toner under my fingernails, that's my problem now, I'm old

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!

Your onto something Fix, It's all about the Karma!!!!! Some days it's golden some days it's crap!!! And every now and then it runs in streaks!!!

lately mine has been crap as the SM at work is out on medical and I have to pick up the slack........... Anyway Debs here's a big dose of good Karma for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I give up

Our copier, who art broken
give us this day an easy fix
for thine are the prints
free from shadows, marks, and that sort of weird yellowy green hue
may your gears run free
and your your coronas charged to the max (but within operational tolerance)
or I shall strike down upon thee with furious anger
a new fuser and devs
for mine is the hope that this fixith the problem!

Can I get an amen?

Re: I give up

So how was Joan Baez?? Did you recover yet? Was your weekend what you needed?? Good Thread as we all have had those days/weeks. I like some of the great ideas from this "Passion Fingers" and "MY Brain is giving me the Silent Treatment" The broom too. good cheer all aroud.
For me it was a tuff weekend as my Mom is getting old and is, at 93, starting to show it. She was very tolerent of a boy who took everythimg apart to see what made it work. We tech's are curouis that way. sometimes I even put stuff back togethar and it worked! It is that side of the family that most of us take things appart and fixes stuff. Farmers and the like, now techs, machanics, and computer geeks.

I Hope this Looks up to be a great week for everyone. Kind of slow in our shop but there is always something that needs attention. And Happy early Birthday!! Red Heads rule!

Re: I give up

Joan Baez was brilliant, I can die happy now I've heard diamonds and rust live.
Work is better this week, at least I appear to be able to fix things again, it's the rest of my life that looks like its standing at the edge of an abyss again this week

Could be suffering from "midlife crisis?", well it happens in the history of every one! 'One step forward, two steps backwards...' but life has to go on.
