You Might Be a Technician if...


you have ever tried to repair a $15.00 radio.

you think of the gadgets in your office as "friends."

you think your computer looks better without the cover.

you have ever purchased an electronic appliance "as is."

you have ever saved the power cord from a broken appliance.

you think jokes about being unable to program a VCR are stupid.

the salespeople at Circuit City can't answer any of your questions.

the microphone at a meeting doesn't work and you rush up to fix it.

you have a neatly sorted collection of old bolts and nuts in your garage.

you own a set of itty-bitty screwdrivers and you actually know where they are.

you just don't have the heart to throw away the 100-in-1 electronics kit you got for your ninth birthday.

you have never sat through an entire movie without having at least one device on your body beep or buzz.

If online training is your idea of a good night in.....

If going into the office on a saturday to work on new machines is the best plans you have...

I've explained to Microsoft salespeople the difference between FAT, FAT32 and NTFS, and pointed out to them that Microsoft Vista uses the latter. Does that count?

Your idea of fun reading material is a tech manual.

If you are attending a presentation and the presenter can't make the projector work.  You are a technician if, despite 10 people already trying to fix it you feel you have to get up and help.

I did suggest to someone I know who runs a trade association that instead of putting speakers up to talk to the audience every once in a while he should invite a couple of psychologists along and have them observe this effect when the projector 'unexpectedly' breaks down.  We were having this discussion while about 15 people were queuing up for their attempt to fix the projector.

You might be a tech if...... your in a sales conference and feel compelled to correct every single incorrect bit of technical information the sales guys say....

if you can fix multiple photocopiers on multiple occasions by giving them an extremely precise thump (latest example was this morning - the photocopier was churning out blank papers until I gave it some "encouragement" using my right fist, then it copied correctly)

I thought if you could make a machine work by hitting it you were an engineer.
