I don’t have any personal grudge against auditors. After all, they are human beings most of the time, and how ever one puts it, they are just doing their jobs. Obedient blokes with a creative sense of humor....
Last week the audits came and gave an order to suspend the life insurance of the scientific officers in the Non-destructive testing section. Their reason was pretty straightforward; the officers had not sustained any injury so far, and thus there was no point in paying for insurance.
(For those who are not aware of non-destructive testing; it’s a profession which involves contact with X-rays, Gamma rays, and radioactive sources as well as handling potentially harmful chemicals. We also run the risk of fatality when doing a field inspection. Especially when it involves climbing heights.)
We were thinking of nominating the audits for the next Nobel Peace Prize in Rational Thinking but later decided against it when we heard another incident:
The auditors have recommended a “cheaper” safety switch to the engineer who had designed the power grid for a reputable authority.
Damn, such innovative and brilliant solutions! These guys/girls should be promoted to presidential advisers. Their talents are clearly going to waste.

haha...should recommend them to Bush...might me really helpful in tracking down weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! common X-Rays? Gamma Rays? Radioactive sources? tell them to try it out and see wht the long term effect is
:-) The guys are planning a fake "accident" next time she comes, don't know whether they'll go through with it though.
at least them as presidential advisors will mean that we will (finally) get some educated people doing the job. not sure if they're the right people, but you can't solve all problems at one can you.. easy does it, one kokka at a time =)
Educated people? Oh, thanks for reminding. I've completely forgotten that they are educated.
Btw, what usually happens is the president is the one giving the advise. Not vice versa. So don't get your hopes up...;-)
They are still training men. That's why they are called Audit Trainees
I guess they are obliged to suggest measures to improve the organization.
Poor fellows having no idea of Chemistry, Physics or Engineering, they may have suggested these.
So don't be harsh. Show their weaknesses and let them mature. We need people like them to unveil corporate scandals.
She's definitely not on training machan. And rather than a suggestion, twas more like an accusation. So I don't really consider them 'poor' either.
