[Histonet] timer calibration

[Ford Royer]

It's really not the Timer or the Inspector that is off.  What screwed up the
whole aspect of "Time" and "Timers" was the advent of Day Light Savings
Time...  which was, of course, adapted from an ancient practice by an early
Norwegian bachelor farmers who settled in Minnesota.  One night he noticed
that the blanket on his bed was too short to cover his bare feet when he was
sleeping.  So he cut six inches off the top of the blanket and sewed it on
to the bottom.  Problem solved.  But I digress...

Joe,

You are talking fundamental philosophical differences here.
The inspectors are obviously Newtonian realists, while you're leaning more 
to the Leibnitz/Kant view.
They are going to win!

I'm sorry
am I the only one that thinks calibrating timers is stupid. I mean how many
histology procedures are so time sensitive that the timers have to be
calibrated? Let's face it. I have had techs sit there and watch the clock
and rinse as soon as the timer goes off. And I've had techs wait for the
timer to go off , then mosey over and rinse.  Both stains worked. I guess
I'm just not anal enough.
