You were an ISO auditor? Arggh! Agent of Evil! Get away! Actually I avoided most of the ISO crap at my company, being that I’m in IT, but frankly, guys like you gave me unnecessary work, so now I must be angry at you. But only for a second. 😛 Happy anniversary… You and **Superdude** make such a cute couple. ---

Well, at first I thought you ( **SuperDolt** )were joking, but then you emphasized everything by saying it again, so now I’m hurt. ☹ **Blue** , I never created unnecessary work. If people had been keeping up with their records, we wouldn’t have had any problems! ---

> [@](#): > > Blue, I never created unnecessary work. Um… ISO inherently creates unnecessary work because some processes don’t need to be standardized. Did we _really_ need to put a flag in the database to indicate if a vendor is ISO certified? Grrr… Let me do significant things with my time, like read message boards. 😉 I know, guilt by association is improper. I’m sure _you_ never made people do any silly things like that. ---

No, sugar, he doesn’t. He’s probably had the same problem I’ve had today in that some postings take FOREVER to go through and you don’t think they’re going to so you hit “submit” more than one time. I think **Super** just likes to play rough. At least that’s the rumor I heard. From the goat. 😃 d&r ---

If people had been keeping up with their records, we wouldn’t have had any problems! \*\* Um… **think** … the records IS the extra work. I’ve IMPLEMENTED the dabnabbed system in a corrugated plant. AMAZING what added paperwork there was, and I hates paperwork. But as you know, write down what you do, do what you wrote down, and write down what you did. That’s ISO. Now I have to find out what “SEI CMM” is so I can impress the ladies in Chicago. ---

Dangit, **Bill** , you can’t go 'round telling people ISO is extra work, they’ll want more pay! \ Let me also state that I was auditing for QS, not so much ISO. The differences are many, but the automotive field requires it. So there. Oh, and this: [SW-CMM (Capability Maturity Model[sup]®[/sup] for Software)](http://www.sei.cmu.edu/cmm/cmm.html) **Super** , you are never allowed in my apartment or near my cats. Wierdo. **Pers** , I swoon at the very thought of you digging me. And I look good doing it 😃 Yes, **Jester** , you have found me out. I use my post count to compensate for my short Marine haircut. You’ll notice a spike after a trip to the barber. That _is_ what you meant, right? Also, I try to pick on people my own size…and age 😉 **Nymy** , darling, this will be a full-service venture, gear, trips and tours, so of course there will be boarding too. Love to have you aboard, with assets like yours, I won’t need to advertise! To everyone else, thanks for reading, I hope I’ve not bored you too much. HAND. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by thinksnow \* > **Super, you are never allowed in my apartment or near my cats. Wierdo.** Relax. I wouldn’t sleep with my cat. I don’t know where she’s been, for one thing. And you’re not just sleeping with your cat. You’re sleeping with every cat your cat’s ever slept with. All nine lives. And the last thing I need is to come down with genital ticks. Although…[Homer]…sandpaper tongue…[/Homer] ---
