Fake sincerity?

  • Fake sincerity?
  • =============

    Since my quote was taken out of context, I'm posting the original set
    of Murphy's laws for Laser techs:


    PEOPLE always remember the last mistake you made.

    HE who hesitates is probably smart.

    THE less a laser system costs, the MORE it costs to fix.

    THE one who works on a project last, always gets the most credit.

    WHATEVER happens, behave like you meant it to happen.

    EXPERIENCE is something you don't get until just after you needed it.

    CONFIDENCE is the feeling that you have just before you fully
    understand the problem.

    WHEN you get to the point where you really understand your laser
    system, it's obsolete.

    AS soon as you find a laser system that is easy to use, someone will
    add some peripherals you don't understand how to operate.

    YOU will always find the information you need in a section of the
    manual where you would least expect to find it.

    IF all else fails ... READ THE MANUAL!!!

    FOR every action, there is an equal and opposite malfunction.

    TO err is human ... to blame the system for your mistakes is even more
    human.

    THAT which cannot be serviced will require the most service.

    IF you can distinguish between good advice and bad advice, you
    probably didn't need any advice in the first place.

    NO job is so simple that it can't be screwed up.

    THE person who says that something can't be done should never
    interrupt the person who is doing it.

    A specialist is a person who knows more and more, about less and less,
    until he gets to the point where he knows absolutely everything about
    nothing.

    A conclusion is when you've reached the point where you can't think
    anymore.

    THE component which has the shortest life span, will always be located
    in the least serviceable location.

    WHENEVER you don't understand what you're doing, remember to do it
    neatly.

    ANY technical problem can be solved given enough time and money, but
    you will NEVER have enough time and money.

    THE secret to a successful presentation is sincerity. Once you learn
    to fake sincerity, you've got it made.

    IF it weren't for the last minute, nothing would ever get done!
