The Auditors est arrivee
I met with the university’s external auditors today. They come twice a year, apparently. First to ferret stuff out, and then to report on our failures and make their demands. So today was the ferret mission. About 15 minutes before they came, I dug out my cheesy printouts of both the SAGE Code of Ethics and the IT Value Matrix and hung them in my office. And they actually commented on the Code of Ethics–they really liked this. And now I’m cursing myself because I didn’t demand to see their IDs or to otherwise validate their identities. Foiled!
And, um, I exaggerate for humor’s sake. There’s nothing to ferret, we have no failures, and everyone’s identity is perfectly assured. There’s nothing to worry about. Nothing at all. Four lights? Sure, four lights. I totally see four lights. Airlock? Do we even have an airlock? (see last Friday’s comments).
