I am a mobile phone repair technician - a level 1 engineer. We all have our quirks and our silly moments, and I get to watch quite a few of them pass my workbench.

Break Dancin'

It's hard to leave work, these days.

What with managers clinging to your ankles crying about 'just one more
hour of overtime, pleeease'.

Apparently this is National Break Your Phone month, and nobody told
me; we are awash in cracked touchscreens, dented cases, things jammed
into charger ports, and the ever-popular liquid damage. Also one case
of a phone absolutely filled with nutmeg; I don't even want to know.

I want to fix people's phones; I want to help; it looks good on my
repair statistics. If only people would work with me, here, and try
not to drop their phone into their tea (confessed), into their soup
(confessed), or into a puddle (confessed). Or completely soak the drat
thing and try to get away with it; here's a tip, if the screws are
rusty I don't even attempt to turn the phone on, I just open 'er up
for a picture of the damage.
