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.

It is 2009.
So it is obvious.

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?
