Generic Repair Process

Things break. Stuff happens. Here is a one-size=fits-all repair process [in order]:

1. Turn it off, then on. For computers try a restart, then hard reboot.
2. Rap it sharply with the heel of your hand or the heel of your boot (brogan maintenance)
   [I know, we are talking about repair and not maintenance]
3. Unplug it and replug it
4. Take it apart and reassemble it. Discard remaining parts.
5. Use outside repair [store, manufacturer, or on-site repairman.]
6. Read the instructions.
   

Words I can't remember.

1. Anabasis: (from Greek ana = "upward", bainein = "go") is an expedition from a coastline up into the interior of a country. Katabasis, or catabasis, (from Greek κατὰ, "down" βαίνω "go") is a descent of some type. Katabasis may be a moving downhill, a sinking of winds, a military retreat, or a trip to the underworld. It may also mean a trip from the interior of a country down to the coast, and has related meanings in poetry, rhetoric, and modern psychology.

2. Amanesis: An oral history, given by a patient to his doctor. Heteroanamnesis is an oral history given by someone other than the patient. The process is outlined in a Wikipedia article.
