Today I was kind of on my own at work. My supervisor took the day off.
So I went begging for something to do from some of the other people in the department.
Someone needed a manual broken down into smaller parts so they could make notes for the person who was going to be going through an inspection who was not used to all the details or something.
Anyway I spent my entire day turning a 123 page document into what will end up being a 250 page document.
This is technology !
After all I used a COMPUTER to do this marvelous thing ! The person is very happy with how it is turning out, so that means something. But boy, it seems weird.
Especially when I run across statements like this in the manual.
I am quoting verbatim:
BH-23007
Are internal standards used where appropriate? Yes No
Comment:
Internal standards must be used where appropriate.
I kid you not.
Would I kid you about something as serious as this ?
For this, I wouldn’t kid you.
What me? Kid ?
But somebody’s got to do it. I suppose it might as well be me.
Probably.
Maybe.
I don’t know.
I need to go out in the garden and see if I can hear the tomatoes growing. Smell a few flowers. And watch Bob stalk the mousies.
I also think I need a good hot bath.
And Rubber Duckie Therapy.
