[BC] Maintaining old transmitters

When I worked for MRBI  KBLA's DX 50 was off and they were on the DX 10. While
fixing the transmitter I was called back to the studio to fix a printer. Even
better, the problem with the printer was that they had badly overfilled it
with paper. I wasted two hours of my time because some idiot in bookkeeping
could not read the warning in big black letters *on the printer* that said:
*Do not put more then 200 sheets into this printer or will not work!*. All I
did was take about 150 sheets of paper out of the tray and it began
printing-while KBLA remained at 10 kW.

  I recently learned under new policys from upper management.
 That paperwork is more important than going out and fixing a transmitter when
the station is off the air. 
 Gotta love it.
