This week, however, was actually a productive one. I didn't save the world or anyone this week, but I was able to modify a few of our standard operating procedures in our quality system based on some audit findings we had a few months ago. (So interesting, I know.) Even though it wasn't hard work, it wasn't easy either. It's a bit like playing tetris. You have to make sure what you modify will address all the audit findings, yet everything has to fit back in the grand scheme of our quality system. So you can't go crazy with it and tear apart the old system.
So this morning, I tied up all the loose ends and sent all the documents for release (they're currently routing in the company for approver signatures). It's funny that I feel happier and better on busy weeks than on slow weeks. I actually go home feeling more spirited than when I was just passing hours in the workday. It also felt good because I know the changes will ultimately be better for everyone and we'll be a lot more ready for our FDA audit whenever they decide to come.
But that being said, I thank God that it's Friday!
