A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

Twenty yrs or so. As a road tech, it has it's good and bad side. Traffic, nasty machines, tight spaces, awkward customers, ect. What I hated the most was the boot up time of the machines back then, especially when you had to reboot multiple times to see outcomes when you fixed a problem . The tie thing also irked me, as my boss was very strict on that. The other side was , you get to know your city well and meet different people, and see the girls, yes those secretaries that you want to go back and do service calls there.
I spent most of the time though as a shop tech, fixing and troubleshooting like for like and things the field techs did not have the time to spend on. I liked those challenges and as time went on the machines boot time is very fast now, which I am contended with. I have my own space, tools which I do not loose and youtube, which I get to see a variety of things that I choose , all while working on machines.
Now, the job has gotten much easier with better machine performance and more tools to find and troubleshoot problems. Every tech has to develop his own style and way of getting the job done. some take shortcuts that work and some get burn. When you can solve most of the common problems easily, then your day can become a litter harder to past the time. With the advent of google and youtube, even tough problems can be narrow down fairly quick.

THE ONLY THING FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING..........edmund burke
started back when you could find a parking meter in London
Large typing pools of secretaries (bit like walking into a lion’s den)
Golf balls were not just for the weekend whack about
Blow torches were used make a line of text look straight again and would normally set fire to your rag that had methylated spirits on it ( still love the smell of meths )
A grease gun that looked like a large syringe from a carry on film
Tool case the made one arm longer than the other due to its weight! (norm due to another older tech filling ya case with top shelf mags, ready for when you open the case in front of the customer)
Spent most of the day with nobody ringing me, trying to find out where I was and if I had finished.
The days when between every call I made a visit to a record shop was nearly always on the cards.
Started the day in a café and finished the day in a motorway services meeting the other techs 3pm.
I was trained well by Ex Ollivetti engineers
The good old days.
I think that's what I miss the most about that time: the silence.
No beeper, no calls, no text, & no email. Just fix, then flip to the next scrap of message pad for the next call. If you really needed to talk to somebody it could wait until tomorrow morning when the calls were distributed. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
