It's always all good Henry. The comedy was probably the neighbors hearing the "words" escaping my eaves while I was in the attic pulling wire though. Hearing a house talk that way had to be a surprise to some of them
.
I just got home from 5 hours of lecture on what is supposed to be a graduate course on the philosophy, principles, and practices of the management of quality assurance. After listening to Dr. White yammer on about the five C's of communication, one of those C's being "concise," as well as giving a complete drill down of Maslow, negative reinforcement as a behavior modification technique, replenishable and non-replenishable organizational resources, the "Arsenal of Venice," a full hour spent dissecting operational definition, and realizing marketing results.................I'm left sitting in my chair in the classroom laughing to myself. Then I realize my peers are doing likewise. We're not looking for a CQM certification, or even a Lean/6 Sigma black belt, but it seems we're all left wondering if the university did any QA on this guy's program of instruction. Of course, he could be gathering data for a second doctoral dissertation on using "irony" as a teaching technique. If my mind wasn't tattered at 5pm this evening when class started, it certainly was at 10pm.

Damn, this beer is good!
