Woes of a process auditor

It was one fine day in july... or was it september... That I opted for the process audit position in my company. I say opted. I was one of the few persons who was cuckoo enough to opt for a shop floor job. I was stupid. I thought I would get bored sitting comfortably in front of a comp, chatting with friends online, oblivious to the yucky world of actual car making. Bah! I say to myself.






Scene 1:



Conveyor assembly line. Lots of people with pneumatic tools making those shrill cool noises...



I think they are cool, so there!



I also have houseminding chores, in case u didnt know, just to put the next scene at least a bit more in context



Me: Excuse me, please tell your people not to drag the tools around. (Im so polite, its like a handicap; dammit!#$%$



Pot Bellied Engineer: I cant



Me: ???



PBE: Interferes with cycle time



Me: ??? :O



[Pause]



But they are damaging the tools. Didnt you cry just yesterday about tools not lasting.



PBE: It is not part of the process



Me: Of course it isnt. Who would put such nonsense about not dragging tools in the process sheet. Its understoo...



PBE: Thats what I said!!



Me: :O






Right then PBE Admiral Senior comes and hushes mini me (The Austin powers super villain, in this case referring to the PBE... Not myself, me u dumbf) away from my scrutiny while ignoring me so very effortlessly. They go into a corner and do this.













I stay there , partially dazed by the sheer brilliance of the stupidity of what just happened, open mouthed. Thankfully, because of weld spatter I close them in a few seconds.....








Me: (Fuming!!) Thinking: Panna maira!#$%^& Mon... I'll get him one day....


Scene 2:

Door assembly line with the door engineer (okay, he is called something else, nothing u stupid laymen need to know)
Me: There is a hemming line damage on the door.. blah.. blah.. How do you plan on tackling it??

Before door man could put a word in edge wise

Me(Austin Powers reference): Stop Gossipping! I need 100 doors in 10 minutes. You are holding up the doors

Me: But the doors are faulty! (Thinking: You dumbass SOB!!!%^&%)

Me: That is unsubtantiated gossip!

Me: Can you please look at the door (exasperated)

Me: Im busy!

Me: But the door is in your hand. Never mind..... (Sigh!) (NANDE DATTEBAYO?!!!)


I imagine he does this as soon as he is out of sight, after thwarting my "presumptuos" attemptsin bringing some "quality" to the factory floor, i.e., do my job....






To put things into context. We always gloat about quality. Our company that is. Quality this, quality that. Yakkity Yak. Thooey
