On my first day as the AV person at a large high school I got called down to
extract a video tape that someone had put into the VCR upside down. As I am gently
working the tape out using two butter knives, one of the teachers asked "Where is
Brad? He should be doing this." (Brad was the former AV person.) When it was
explained that Brad no longer worked there, his comment was "What are we going to
do without Brad?" It was at that point the tape slipped out and the the tape and
machine were ready to go. No more speculation about a woman doing the job. I
learned much in the on-the-job- training experience as AV person. I can still fix
VCR's if the parts are not broken and solder new plugs onto damaged cords. I must
admit I prefer the book side and I m very happy back in the elementary media
center. I still use some of those skills, but not nearly as frequently. --
