RE: OT - interviewing your superior(fun question)

I agree GLP works best in a manufacturing/production lab. However even research labs can use GLP. It's a matter of how you go about your individual lab procedures. Yes, you do different procedures each day, but each day there is proper handling of reagents, cleaning of equipment, and running of standardized documented laboratory test procedures. These can all be part of the ISO process. If you are developing NEW procedures you need to methodically document each step so that it is reproducible by someone other than you.

This thread has gone waaay off topic, however the principles mentioned above are also applicable to DBA and development work WRT new procedures and methodical documentation.
