TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

(This is not a content rant, just wanted to vent a little, feel free to ignore it completely)

How fucking long has this company been in business?  1981?  There's a fucking drawing repository for a very good reason and my boss refuses to use it.  The end result is they're wiring and programming equipment outside with what SHOULD be the most current revision of the drafts, but on closer inspection there's all sorts of shit that's wrong with them.  The drafts get dumped on me and I'm told to update them and when I, out of curiosity, pull down the previous revision for a quick comparison, I find shit that was corrected on it but is now wrong again on the current revision.

Now I'll be stuck here all god damn weekend comparing the two drawing sets, hoofing it out to the shop every 30 to trace wires and verify where they're terminated in 5 god damn sections of switchgear.

I don't care what the damn emote tag says, that's a very mad pickle, in need of a bottle of Scotch.

We have the opposite problem.  EVERYTHING is a control document, and we're religious about it.

So if we change a procedure, we have to change about 60 documents.

We change one procedure or another twice a week.

Interestingly, you and Mrs LMNO would have a hell of a lot to talk about.  She deals with the same thing, in Pharmeceuticals.  The FDA is picky like that.

sounds like you guys are an ISO shop.

I fucking hate ISO.  We're not, but maybe if we were, shit like this wouldn't happen.

I don't even have a problem correcting 60 pages worth of drafts 3 or 4 times until they're correct, just so long as I'm working with the most recent version and don't have to trace wires from terminal block to terminal block throughout the entire damn system and drawing set just to be sure nothing was missed.  I might as well just redraw the fucking things from scratch.
