        No porcupine, but slightly uncomfortable having to go to her office to service the copier....

            Lanier LD118: never had one of those apart before: I replace all of the fuser components, and then when it comes time to re-assemble I put the screws holding the two sides of the fuser together on the wrong sides! It only took one time ordering an entire new unit overnight to learn my lesson: always make sure you put the screws back in where they came from.

Ever since then the tool case stays on the front passenger's side floor 24/7 unless I am using it on a service call.

                Hehe, i keep a screwdriver in my toolbag one in my laptop bag another in my cars boot, just for that reason. I will instead on leaving the stuff at home or at the office leave stuff like spray cleaner and brushes and the like everywhere at the customers they are normally nice enough to phone or to keep it oneside.

                  Is it not the same as plugging in the power cord with wet hands [ risky, risky, allan ] Bad work habit. don't let the young ones know that.

                  Though i must confess, i do it at times too.

                              You guys let a little line like that upset you. but i hear you, hope not to offend

                              The guy thoughts were wondering and i just thought to give an illustration of how it could have happen. no offensive words and short and simple. I Did not rattle on.

                                Hehe, clean optic on old Canon np1550 (at that time it was new) without copier glass on the top.The machine was turned on.At that time I wore a long necklace and accidentally with elbow i push start button and scanner lamp embroiled to my necklace.Of course customer stand in front of me while I am shaking.
                                If it ain't broke, don't fix it
