    "The maintenance shop is more than fixing equipment it seems." -- :amen: I always thought "service" was more accurate than maintenance.

    If it was anything not directly production related the floor people came to me.
    I just fixed things: tools, machines, people, situations, whatever came in the door -- I didn't interrogate people, belittle them, reprimand them, document them or make them feel stupid, I just fixed their problems and sent them on their way.

    I was also the only first aid person, the emergency response person and the 911 caller -- the funny part of this is that I have never had a first aid course in my life. :laugh:

    My signature lines were:
    "I've got to whiz first, then we'll go check it out"
    &
    "Wait until I get my other glasses"

    After you work in industry for a while (say a week) you discover common sense isn't so common anymore. :(

    Agree. Not happy about it, but agree.
    You know times have changed when you walk away from an interchange in a store for example genuinely impressed that the employee knew their job and could help you.
    We have gone to seed as a society it seems.

    LOL. Well the remaining options of comments I've made here consist of:
    1. Grandparents
    2. Food poisoning
    3. Marriage (or rather lack thereof)
    4. Stalking forum members
    5. Common sense

    I'm not sure we need that level of organization in this thread.

    We do much better with random bumbling.
