Today, My Boss Made My Day

[elgarak]

Usually, my boss only has snickering remarks for my passion.

However, today he walked up to me: "I need your smallest brightest flashlight".

:huh:

One hand into my pocket, whipping out the SF E1L.

Even more satisfying was that it was used to improve a $2k Leitz microscope...

We're the Electrical Engineering Dept., so the scope is there to inspect solid state devices -- thin films for diodes, transistors and such, on non-transparent substrates. Naturally, money was saved by getting only the front-light option. Problem is, our group works now on transparent films, on glass slides, and we needed backlighting....

Actually, you made your boss's day by being prepared with a good flashlight.

 

[Dawg]

Good move.....chalk one up for the flashlight geeks. :rock:

 

[fnmag]

Surefire to the rescue.

Did your boss whip anything else out of your pocket?!

Everyone at my work loves the Fenix L1D-CE

 

[Strauss]

Sounds like that would have been a good opportunity to pass out a Draco

 

[sysadmn]

Quick, while he's still happy, ask for a PO number to "replace" your SF E1L. Then start the "What's the best replacement for a SF E1L?" thread.

Good move.....chalk one up for the flashlight geeks. :rock:

Yup, what he said!!! :rock: :rock:

My co-workers make fun of me because of my lights but who do they come for when they need one or want to buy one.
