Who says a Lift truck mechanic, technician or ( Doctor) does not work fast?
The Doc is old and can still make rate at 125 %.
I can furnish testimonials if you desire.
Presumptions always lead to assumptions.
Possibly our new interns (not Doctors) do not work fast.
Possibly because they are on the Cell, Texting, looking for the next Taco stand, brothel or whatever one does when they are not applying themselves to their responsibilities and duties.
I do wish back in the day we had all of these communication services available.
Back then, in the old days, We were sent out to perform a task with little or no information and expected to complete the job, no email, no text, no Cell call to the office or Factory, it took a dime to call in and you better hope you got that dime back and we called in often.
We had to know what we were doing, if not we were required to study to learn, that is called reading or research possibly study, and it was on our own time. If we wished to advance beyond a garage man in the system.
I guess today the lift truck repair people are too busy to work to make a living!
What with Text, Cell and Bluetooth, Email, mobile video, etc.
Who has time to work? Did I miss anything?
But alas the days of old are long gone.
Privileges are now Entitlements.
Buck it up Interns, you have no Idea!
Iitch Gitch whine and cry, Tracking software, Time Studies, Efficiency and rating oh and GPS! OMG they know where I am!
These are not new technological developments , no not at all.
Just be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to be doing. You will have no problems, I guarantee it!
Oh and remember that you are not non replaceable, the dealership will not fold if you have a tantrum or hold your breath and quit and go across the street to the competitor.
Oh and remember the customer called in to resolve a problem ,
Oh but I was born 20 years later.
Live Large and In Charge.
The Doc still lives and air is still free!
Doc

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
