[SFDXA] The Ten Commandments For Technicians:(electrical engineers)

[Bill]

*The Ten Commandments For Technicians:*

**

*1) Beware the lightning that lurketh in the un-discharged capacitor, 
lest it cause thee to bounce upon thy buttocks in a most 
untechnician-like manner.*

**

*2) Cause thou the switch that supplieth large quantities of juice to be 
opened and thusly tagged, that thy day in this earthly vale of tears may 
be long.*

**

*3) Prove to thyself that all circuits that radiateth and upon which 
thou worketh are grounded and thusly tagged lest they lift thee to radio 
frequency potential and cause thee to make like a radiator, too.*

**

*4) Tarry not amongst those fools that engageth in intentional shocks, 
for they are surely non-believers and are not long for this world.*

**

*5) Take care that thou useth the proper method when thou takes the 
measure of a high voltage circuit lest thou incinerate both thyself and 
thy meter, for verily, though thou hast no account number and can be 
easily surveyed, thy test meter doth have one and, as a consequence, 
bringeth much woe unto the supply department.*

**

*6) Take care thou tampereth not with safety devices and interlocks, for 
this incureth the wrath of the supervisor and bringeth the fury of the 
safety inspector upon thy head and shoulders.*

**

*7) Work thou not on energized equipment, for if thou dost, thy fellow 
workers will surely buy beers for thy widow and console her in other ways.*

**

*8) Service thou not equipment alone, for electrical cooking is a 
slothful process and thou might sizzle in thine own fat for hour upon a 
hot circuit before thy Maker sees fit to end thy misery.*

**

*9) Trifle thou not with radioactive tubes and substances lest thou 
commence to glow in the dark like a lightning bug and thy wife have no 
further use for thee except thy wages.*

**

*10) Thou shall not make unauthorized modifications to equipment, but 
causeth thou to be recorded all field changes and authorized 
modifications made by thee lest thy successor tear his hair out and go 
slowly mad in his attempt to decide what manner of creature hath made a 
nest in the wiring of such equipment.*
