Re: Does anyone work FOR Konica?

As long as we're dreaming, how about being an in-house tech in a single building. Say 200 machines in the same building or adjoining buildings. All the same brand, say 6 models?

We have multiple sites with hundreds of machines at each with a dedicated tech to look after them. It takes a special kind of person to do it because doing that every day in the same place over and over and over again sometimes ends up turning into the shining (well not that bad but some have gone nuts). Not to mention some people are just jerks and keeping a smile on your face despite all odds is not sustainable in the long term. At least as a field tech you have time to yourself in the car and freedom to get out and about.

To be fair, its been 2 or 3 years since I had to do training, iirc. Despite being 3000 miles away, Huntington is the closest training facility by far. It's still the only KM facility I've been to in 10+ years.

Huntington has since been closed and moved to Anaheim. It is essentially in the same parking lot as Angels Stadium now.

last KM training i did was on the C652DS...

I feel like ive done it long enough i dont really benifit to much from training anyway.

On a side note, Australia doesnt even get access to the KM app store. Think Japan is in same boat.

What a joke

Re: Does anyone work FOR Konica?

When I went to a Sharp school in Jersey, back in 84, roomed with a tech that all he had was the HBO building in the city, he lived in the Bronx, took the train everyday into the city, had his tool box and supplies in a closet like room, desk, ect. That's all he did everyday, in the building. Me personally, couldn't take it. I like the going everywhere, mobility, meeting, talking to different people. Being in the same building all day, you see the same people all the time. Boring.
