10 Commandments for Technicians
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I. Beware the lightning that lurketh in the undischarged
|
|||
|
|
capacitor, lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy
|
|||
|
|
buttocks in a most un-technician-like manner.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
II. Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities
|
|||
|
|
of juice to be opened and thusly tagged, that thy
|
|||
|
|
days in this earthly veil of tears may be long.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
III. Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and
|
|||
|
|
upon which thou workest are grounded and thusly
|
|||
|
|
tagged, lest they lift thee up to radio frequency
|
|||
|
|
potential and causeth thee also to make like
|
|||
|
|
a radiator.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IV. Tarry not amongst those fools who engageth in intentional
|
|||
|
|
shocks for they are surely non-believers and are not
|
|||
|
|
long for this world.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
V. Take care that thou useth the proper method when thou
|
|||
|
|
takest the measure of a high voltage circuit, lest
|
|||
|
|
thou incinerate both thyself and thy meter, for
|
|||
|
|
verily, though thou hast no account number
|
|||
|
|
and canst be easily surveyed, thy test
|
|||
|
|
meter doth have one and, as a con-
|
|||
|
|
sequence, bringeth much woe
|
|||
|
|
unto the supply depot.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VI. Take care that thou tampereth not with safety devices and
|
|||
|
|
interlocks, lest thou incurreth the wrath of thy
|
|||
|
|
instructor and bringeth the fury of thy
|
|||
|
|
instructor upon thy head.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VII. Work thou not with energized equipment, for if thou dost,
|
|||
|
|
thy fellow students will surely buy beers for thy
|
|||
|
|
spouse, who liveth, (and consoleth them in other
|
|||
|
|
ways).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
VIII. Trifle thou not with radioactive tubes and substances, lest
|
|||
|
|
thou commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug
|
|||
|
|
and thy spouse have no further use fo thee except
|
|||
|
|
thy wages.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
IX. Causeth thou not to make unauthorized modifications to
|
|||
|
|
equipment, lest thou arrange to have recorded all field
|
|||
|
|
changes and authorized mods made by thee, that thy
|
|||
|
|
successor shall not tear his hair and go
|
|||
|
|
slowly mad in his attempt to decide what
|
|||
|
|
manner of cretin hath made such a
|
|||
|
|
mess in the wiring of such
|
|||
|
|
equipment.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
X. Be thou cautious in the placing of thy digits into such
|
|||
|
|
equipment that would cause thee to sorely lament the
|
|||
|
|
loss of thy greatest sexual appendage.
