Scene: a facilities manager, having just ordered bathroom supplies, is out to lunch.

"Do you think the menu's this huge at the urinal cake factory?"

@TechConnectify You could call it the urinal of jokes.

(I feel the need to clarify that I mean this positively, as the urinal is a subsection(subsection(subsection)) solution to bathroom festivities.

I'd like to tell a quick story about successful troubleshooting.

A few months ago I rented a scissor lift to install lighting at my new office. When it arrived, the delivery person gave me a quick demo and off he went.

Well, when I went to actually use it - the lift went up by about a foot then stopped and screamed beeps of terror. It was broken!

But the display on the control read "18"

Rather than call the rental company, I searched "sinoboom fault code 18" to see what that meant.

@TechConnectify I think a lot of troubleshooting comes down to curiosity. “Hmm… that’s interesting, why did it do that?” The act of asking and trying to answer those questions can lead someone down a troubleshooting path.

I don’t know if curiosity can be taught, but it can definitely be extinguished if people aren’t careful.
