a big project, winding down

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2011.10.17

I spent the entire day today working on a single document for the audit; pushing paperwork is basically my entire job now.

And I have to admit, it's getting a little old. But at the same time, obtaining a successful S5970 / SAS70 report is no small feat; they don't come easy. And in reality, I've torn up all of the carpet and over turned all of the furniture in getting to this point - now refurbished and unrecognized, I've essentially led a complete overhaul of this little company. It's difficult and unpopular work but it's something worth doing. I've certainly learned a thing or two this year.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
