Anarchist Prime has finally decided to start making changes to the Quality system. This is only to be expected, and I think the only reason it's taken him so long to get around to it is that Mr Big has been running him pretty much ragged since he took over.
His first act has been to get me to put a hold on all document review. Nothing is to be reviewed without his say so, until he's got time to get started on the changes that he needs made. Fair enough. It's also not going to affect the level of document review that's going on around here by so much as a pixel. I'm not sure he's figured that out yet, and I for one am not particularly inclined to inform him, given that I don't think even he could do anything about it.
He also wants to change the employee structure temporarily, so that I report directly to him. This will last until he's finished making changes. Previously I had officially reported, naturally enough, to my Jedi Master. (Unofficially, I spent a fair amount of time parked in Darth Chaos' office reporting directly to her. Anarchist Prime isn't a big favourite of that sort of approach, which I am actually quite pleased about, so I'd reverted to doing things the way I was supposed to.)
The main reason that I can look forward to it is that he's given me a brief rundown of what he wants to do with the document structure, and it's not affecting the system I created too much. Plus, he's a much better communicator than Darth Chaos was, which makes things so much less stressful. Some things, however, are going to cause some consternation, I think. But they will bring us more into line with good documentation practices, and I have a ringside seat, and a licence to say 'I'm just a humble underling. Go argue about it with Anarchist Prime.' I shall look forward to the fireworks.

that bad huh?
Possibly - I know he's got something major planned for document control that I'm not going to talk about because I'd rather that he was the one to cop the fireworks rather than me. I think it's a good idea, but I doubt anybody else will.
He's basically put a freeze on all document control, which made my Jedi Master give me a worried look and say "He's going to Nazi the whole system, is he?" All I could say was "yes."
