Dear geoff /chris,
canadians do love beaurocracy and managing everything. So many beaurocrats
and they still "manage" to lose billions.
(sorry i couldnt resist that - been a lot of those scandals lately)
I'm sorry you got inflicted with the Z299 plague. (one of my favourite
beefs- not the mad cow kind)
Please put it on the next plane back.
Many here have tried to cure the "head" problem with pot, at least the
yanks think theyre all potheads up here and we're
exporting terrorists and subversive drug culture into the states across the
"leaky border" Two senators (one fr Omaha the other i forget) just last week
repeated that the 911 terrorists came from,,, well i wont repeat it again.
Remember they all had USA VISAS. Shortly we will also, so we'll officially
all be terrorists..... not just mistaken for tourists.
Put a fence along the border.... now theres a managers solution.
So, geoff , Are they talking about a fence down there around Oz, you'd need
a lot of QA on something like that. Think of the job creation... ..
geez i hope no ones taking me seriously
To quote bucky, "I'm not ignorant, i dont even know what that means."
merry Xmas all.

underlying assumption, that the management system in fact works, is hazy.
Some work, some don't. Some address actual problems, others are conveniences
to allow placing blame. Some are definitive, others are too vague to be
useful. My personal experience is that systems which rely on procedural
controls all have a fatal flaw: procedural controls are predictive; they
assume that eventualities have all been foreseen--that the future is known."

(CZ299 I think). It is after all a management system. The tomes that inhibit
shelves and libraries have cost forests. Who reads them? Occassionally a
form is taken out of the back but then is revised because it doesnt actually
do its job. They were often prepared by gurus who thought they knew how
things should be done. In the end they are made so all embracing and loose
so the management and company cant be pinged for not following them when
there is an audit.

course costs more per head , so management expect to decrease the number of
heads. Partly to pay for the "thought police" (QA management).
