training by technicians

 i hated having to call for service again on the envelope stuffer, but had no choice this morning. one of the hoppers was blocked and both needed to be available for the machine to run anything through. around midday was when two technicians showed up, sounded like only one would be arriving. i found out there was something like 20 sensors throughout this machine, and and there was another place where i can open it to run the air can to get rid of the dust. it also meant one of them doing some quick training on logging in as a supervisor to calibrate the machine, and giving me the PIN to do so. if it saves having make some service calls, then i am fine with it. i do like being able to figure things out on my own if at all possible. it was the same one who was making jokes, which i could have done without but i didn't say anything. i saw them run the machine for a while, testing it longer than the previous day. i was able to get both of the previous day fargo files out the door, our biggest check files. since thursday is a lower volume day there is less carryover, less than half. so i should be able to caught up by the end of the day when i go in. it will be a nice way to finish the week, being caught up again. 

in the evening i went on a walk and found 88 cents. so i reached the next save-up goal, a bag of chips out of the vending machine at work. after work i went to a liquor store near my home and got a bottle of guinness, so there are 2 beers waiting. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when raj read lucy's blog and failed in trying to be more butch. amy ran an experiment that sheldon hated, where he had no closure on certain things like the national anthem. but eventually he got closure, and it was hilarious when he knocked over dominoes and laid down on the floor, at a time when penny showed up to say he was a weirdo. it was followed by the one where raj said he was no longer accepting an allowance from his dad, which included having his dad pay for his credit cards.
