Mentor: Student 1, Student 2 is your new minion. Tell him what to do.
Student 2: Did you hear that guys? I got promoted!

Student: We are getting 0.01 for our battery voltage.
Mentor: "Did you set the jumper to get battery voltage?"
Student: "I am pretty sure this version of the 9201 doesn't need a jumper."

Next Day -

Mentor: "Did you fix the voltage problem?"
Student: "I can't figure it out can you check the documentation and see if I missed something?"

Mentor - after reading the documentation and finding the the un-jumpered jumper pins: "You said there was no jumper and the jumper pins are right there as plain as the nose on your face."

Student: "Well I said I was only 99% sure there was no jumper."

Mentor: "******deleted to preserve gracious professionalism**********"

Mentor: "What's this solid red light on the power distribution panel mean?"

Student: "I don't know, but everything is working except XXXX so it probably isn't important."


Next Day:

Student: "XXXX still isn't working."

Mentor: "Hmm, maybe you should check that red light again."

Student: No response but red light was out and XXXX was working next time the mentor checked.

Student: "Where did the *insert very important tool name here* go? I left it right on the table because I was using it."

10 minutes of an entire team search for the missing tool passes.

Mentor: "are you all looking for the *insert very important tool name here*, because I put it back in its proper place so it will be easier to find."

Students: "Easier eh?..."




Student 1: "I'm looking for the shaft collar remover, the smooth machine, the measurer, and the hole spring"

Student 2: "The what and what?"

Student 1: "Does nobody understand me? I need the 3/32 allen key, the file, the tape measure, and the punch."

Student 2: "..."
