This is the 10th school reunion. Everybody tells what they do.
So do I.
„I’m a night-watchman. I sit in my booth gazing at the sky. I watch the stars.”
I’m a clerk. I dash about with stacks of files.
I’m unemployed. I write my CVs.
We’re staring at each other.
We’re sympathetically nodding.
Now the guys in suits rise to speak.
„I’m a broker. I handle tons of money”
„I’m a doctor. I fix broken bones, heal bleeding wounds.”
„I’m a CEO. I hold the fate of 2300 people in my hands. It’s me who decides what is stated in people’s CV.”
We’re humming. We’re green with envy.
That’s what you call success, appreciation, respect.
In the restaurant now we are 26.
Two hours earlier , this is what happened to 23 of them:
Sits in. Switches the key.
The engine revs up. Looks in the mirror, shifts gear. Slowly releases the brake. Depresses the accelerator, eases out. Stops at the traffic lights, waits for the green. Gets to the highway, accelerates. Somebody cuts him off, slams on the brake.
Avoids collision.
Drives fast on the highway. Sign shows the exit.
It takes only a few minutes. Pulls up in front of the restaurant. Parks the car. Presses the button of the remote controller. The index flashes twice.
Enters the restaurant.
Now it’s me who is telling what I do…
„quality assurance”
Now nobody is green with envy. They all think:
quality assurance = boredom.
Boring job. Boring life. Boring man.
They don’t know, what I do:
Two hours earlier this is what happened to 23 of them:
Sits in. Switches the key. The engine revs up. It always starts. All of the 2945 parts work. Always. It is 2009.
At the traffic lights he waits for the green light. It is green for him, and red for the others. It is obvious. It is 2009.
Somebody cuts him off. Slams on the brake. The brakes screech. The ABS rattles. The wheels do not slip. It is 2009.
The software works fine. Quick. Accurate.
Presses the button of the remote controller. The index flashes twice. The doors are closing. It is 2009.
It is 2009.
So it is obvious.
It is 2009.
All parts of the car, are produced with the smallest tolerance. First go. It is obvious.
All processes involved in the manufacturing of the car are optimized. For fail-safe. For efficiency. It is: obvious.
In the car at least 15-20 softwares run at the same time. Quick as thought. It is obvious.
In case of trouble, the car’s serviceman is there in two hours. It is obvious.
Anywhere in Europe. In case of need: here, in front of the restaurant.
It is obvious.
In 2009 it is obvious. This is evolution.
And evolution is exciting.
In 2009 it is obvious. This is evolution.
And evolution is exciting.
No limits.
In 2009 it is obvious. This is evolution.
And evolution is exciting.
No limits.
And behind every step of evolution there is:
In 2009 it is obvious. This is evolution.
And evolution is exciting.
No limits.
And behind every step of evolution there is:
Quality Assurance
What do you think?
Is it boring?
