A bit more challenging

So after a some straight forward days, a job that was a bit more challenging came through. A hospitality site out at Blackwood had a till that wouldn’t turn on. So a part was ordered and shipped to site. The complications began when I arrived there and there turned out to be a couple [...]

Supprisingly cheerfull

I woke up to day in a surprisingly cheerful mood. I’m not sure what is causing it and I’m not going to complain. There is something nice about starting the day with a smile on your face. Even if the Wii Fit Board seems determined to lecture me. Well his batteries are running low, [...]

A simple pace.

If there is a balance to things, then I’m going to be up against it in the future. The jobs and work load have been so simple and straight forward of late. So that would mean there has to be a balance when the work load will become heavy and the jobs complex. So [...]

Take the tape off first

Thank Crunchie it’s Friday.

So the first gig was a retail site in Gloucester. A good way to start the working day with a job on you front door step. So a short drive in to the city centre. The problem had been reported as a problem with the HP printer used for reports. [...]

Mixed results

A bit more of a challenge today. The first job was a retail site outside of Hereford. There was a till that wasn’t playing nice with something plugged into it. So the process was going to be change the till chassis to see if this would fix the problem. It did fix the report [...]

Back to my childhood

A rather unexpected and excellent day all in all. My first job was a retail site in Newport. A case of reload a till. Took a little while to work my way through the manual but the staff on site were a great giggle. Merrily chatting away and the conversation got around to childhood [...]

Continuing the simple theam

Another day that yielded no suppries. I don’t know how much longer this will last. So after exchanging the parts over at the local depot, it was off to Cirencester for my first contestant. A retail site with a faulty chip & pin reader. Unfortunately the replacement part didn’t want to load up properly. [...]

An easy start

Monday. The beginning of the week. So after the usual routine of wake up, Wii fit lecture, breakfast & tea it was out in to the word. The first job was a doddle. A receipt printer on a retail site wasn’t working. However, it was working fine when I got their. Result! That was [...]

Caravan invasion

They’re everywhere! Caravans. Loads of the buggers. No sooner had Igot on the motorway when I was suddenly surrounded by loads of fiberglass boxes on wheels. Nearly new cars and pretend four by fours towing ageing boxes of slow moving misery. Certainly made my journey a bit more fraught as I battled against the [...]

Thank Crunchie it’s Friday

An odd Friday, work wise. I got the kit back to the depot for repair and then seemed to spend most of the morning triaging the calls. One part was set aside for an unusual return, in that I took it direct to a courier rather than put it in to the normal repair [...]
