Beating a Dead Horse

And this ones been beat to death. At work. Why is it that people can't just do what they're asked. If you are one of those individuals who are payed by the hour that doesn't, then maybe you should be sent home for a couple of days with no pay to think about it. It's starting to get old preaching the same old mess each day about following the process that's been implemented. It's pretty simple.

1. Follow the process to the letter (because it's been proven and validated to work)
   
2. Continue to follow the process so that we might observe and identify issues and variation
3. If a one time issue starts to recur, bring it to the team and we will work on fixing it
4. Change process
5. Repeat steps 2 - 4 indefinitely

What you shouldn't do is try things on your own and then expect us to tell you why it didn't work. We don't even know where to start at that point! It's kind of like loading a DVD. You do things in a certain order so they work. You don't push play and then insert the DVD, you do it the other way. Viola! Picture on screen. I know we're trying to change paradigms here but come on!

Just venting. I've had enough for one day and it's time to go home now. Show on Friday, Golf on Saturday, Superbowl on Sunday. The weekend is looking good.

Part Two (added later, after the previous part, of course)

Just to expand on my previous post, I guess there's some guy that was involved in the plane that crashed in to the Hudson River a couple of weeks ago that is suing the airline. Yeah. It turns out the $5000 check he already received was not enough as he broke his nose in the crash and suffered irreparable emotional damage. Are you kidding? You should be happy you're alive and thankful your family didn't have to suffer some real irreparable damage. Of course I suppose being your family they would then sue the airline for negligence or something like that.

People are disgusting. Stay tuned as I'm sure he won't be the first. Take your five grand and pay off some debt or something, maybe buy your kids and wife something nice. Greedy Americans.
