Question for proshadetree:
You mentioned that you get many calls during the day, can I assume these are from other TECHS?

If so, you are what they call "The go to guy"

It is obvious you have:
#1 "A good deal of experience coupled with some technical knowledge"
#2 "you are willing to share it with others"

These are great attributes in a road tech, though it can be annoying at times because others will call you first instead of "thinking for themselves", they will wear you out if you let them.

I have dealt with the "Primadonna" TECH, you know the type who withholds any information, kind of like what they know is a secret and they can't tell it. This type is "Insecure" and they feel that if they share any "TIPS" with others then they will not be "Smarter" than others, and on the other side of the spectrum, will give you some "Off the wall" information that sends you on a "wild goose" chase that makes you look bad and then comes to your rescue only to make them look good to management.
