another year's audit in the bag

I'm getting to the point that the auditors spend only four hours on-site to do our SOC-2 audits. They expect so few problems that they turned the chore of gathering all the proof over to a co-op student this year. Naturally, there's still a veteran auditor doing the inspection, and a partner lurking, too. But our situation's where I want it.

rand()m quote

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

—Roald Dahl
