So here I sit in Tulsa,again, in a shitty hotel room. Our quality program reassessment was to begin this morning and run through Thursday. Mon and Tue in Tulsa, Wed and Thurs in Wichita. The auditor wasn't at the hotel when I arrived to pick him up today. No phone call, no e-mail, nothing.

So I start calling all the corporate offices for the registrar and NOBODY can get ahold of this guy. We have had the same auditor for 3 years running and he has always been punctual and a very good communicator regarding travel plans etc......so I'm starting to worry that something bad has happened to the guy.

Finally get a phone call from him at around 10:00 a.m............he switched our audit with a company in Rhode Island on his calendar.....didn't realize anything was wrong until he went to the airport and started to check in. So now I'm gonna be in Tulsa until Wednesday evening, and the audit will be extended through Friday. I only packed clothes for 2 days, not 3. I only brought enough cigars for 2 days, not 3.

I can't wait for him to try and give me a non-conformance!!!! Bastard!!
