  • In the 1970's I worked in a laser lab where I maintained the equipment and ran tests.

    One of my jobs was to pull the laser rod out of the optical cavity and use jewelers past to hand grind some scale that accumulated on the rod during use.

    Getting the rod our was tricky and one day I pulled the end off.

    I called the company and they said that happened all the time and that you can just glue it back on.

    So we ordered the glue, I used a Qtip to apply it and managed to put the rod assembly back together and everything worked.

    I learned that panic is never a strategy and that not all disasters end badly.
