Well, after 2 days of fierce interrogation, we've survived another audit and have come through it relatively unscathed for the first time.
There are 3 levels that they kick you in the arse for depending on the severity.
1. Non Conformance
2. Discrepancy
3. Observation
It's sort of a bit like getting in trouble with the law which would be a bit like
1. Driving under the influence
2. Punching a coppers dog on the nose (Ask Terry 'bout that)
3. A parking fine
So, for the very first time, we didn't get written up for any non conformance.
At the end of the day, it really is a whole lot of horse sh1t and it's a pain in the dick having to go through all of this but, to maintain and exceed a certain level of accreditation, you've gotta eat the horse sh1t and keep smiling about it.
What pisses me off is that from an outsiders view point, the whole fcuking set up is full of irregularities if you wanted to get pedantic about it all.
So the best thing to do is to shut the fcuk up, smile nicely and have a chew on some horse sh1t.
That does piss me off.
