I had a similar position when I was in the Navy. It amazing how hard of a time people have turning things on (power button) and printing.

not sure if anyone here has every seen The IT Crowd, its a british tv show, but everytime one of their techs answers the phone he says "Hello IT. Have you tried turning it off and on again? "

 

i've heard from other people thats a pretty standard thing you have to deal with in IT

Also go to Lowes, Home Depot, or any store that sells Higher end plywood, Fiberboard, and sheetrock. The big logo thats printed on there thats my companys machines. I work on about 5-6 Different systems and all different generations. Its fun, make too much money for what I do but Im gone most of the time. LOTS of ID10T errors. Thats IDIOT for those of you that touch things that you should not touch.

I worked at a fluid milk processing plant as the engineering department manager. Those fucking ink jets were a real pain in the ass when they went down. The plant manager was too cheap to spend the cash to get a factory guy out. By the looks of your truck, you do alright working on those machines!

As for me....Newbie here.....I'm a lowly parts manager at a small independent motorcycle shop here in San Diego. Pretty fun job but the pay aint that great. Good thing is I get discounts for my bikes and its 2 blocks from my house.:)

 

Me hard at work.

[datsuntech]

I have been an automotive technician for the last 17 years, started out in the corner garage, moved on to dealers for a while (Nissan, Mazda) and now I'm a freelance mechanic- basically self employed with none of the benifits. I hope to have my own shop in the next few years, pretty tired of working out of other peoples shops. In my spare time I sing in a quartet(think Oak Ridge Boys or Statler Brothers)this and fabrication and repair for my Datsun friends pays for my 510 addiction.

Rear Wheel Drive, the way God intended.

If a car is being pulled from the front, doesn't that mean it's being towed?

I work for Willamette Falls Health Center in Canby.

I operate the laboratory services and help with Urgent Care patients. I also do occupational drug screen collections:D and audio testing. Never a dull moment!!!

 

I can't wait for the Canby show!! :)

 

It is great to hear about the different types of people who value the Datsun.

I work at a bicycle store. We sell REALLY expensive shit. Alot of the bikes in the store are worth more than my car :blink:. Its cool though cause I get hookups on alot of stuff (not just bike stuff). And it supports my other habbit.

Where? My brother is global parts procurement for Trek. He's currently living in Taiwan until 2010.

Yeah, at one time I had planned on being a motorcycle mechanic, but then joined the Navy, saw the world, retired from the Navy in '92.....and been fighting this stupid silly-villian life ever since.

 

When the IT market went dot.BOOM, I thought about going back to bikes. Interviewed at the local Harley dealer and was stunned how little they pay. I was getting only fifty-cents an hour less on unemployment. Maybe some day when I can work for fun...
