I guess the rest of my professional career is just going to consist of the following half-dozen-odd interactions:
1. Taking off my spectacles, pinching the bridge of my nose then asking "What is the problem you are actually trying to solve?".
2. Peering over my spectacles and asking "…and at the time, did anyone express any concerns about that course of action?".
3. Taking long drag from my cigarette and intoning the ancient proverb "The root cause is that our processes are not robust enough to prevent a person from making this mistake." before being told "Amy please not right now.".
4. Riffling my notes and beginning the explanation to the auditor or committee with "So, you see, what had happened was…".
5. Making direct eye contact with an engineer through a webcam and asking first how long that will take and then whether the plan is missing any steps.
