Nobody on this site seems to have a problem helping others to learn more about their profession. It is more then commendable. I am learning, as a new comer that a lot of people in our profession like to keep secrets. Particularly little tricks that can make your life easier in the lab and on the retail floor and especially in dispensing. I would hope not to go into specific examples but I can if you like.
I feel, as I'm sure the majority of the optiboarders do that sharing everything we know to make our lives easier and our customers happier will only help our profession to succeed at a better and more expediant rate.
I take every little thing that I learn on this board into work and try it out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I tell everyone around what I'm doing and why. Nobody else at work does this. I work with people that have been in the industry for 30 or 40 years. They should be passing their stuff down to us.
Perhaps it's complacency that comes with age but I can't see the day when I would ever get tired of showing new co-workers the "little" things that would make everything easier in the store. Even something as simple as removing progressive markings from a finished lens.
Do you know what I mean?
