what is 6 sigma exactly? I noticed it on my dad's cv but don't have a clue what it's about. And why do they grade it as belt like some sort of judo for office workers??

Six Sigma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's a management methodology. They grade it as a judo belt for the same reason that IT project managers have 'war rooms' and 'plans of attack'; fat middle aged office workers whose willies have stopped working want to sound macho, as if they were doing something exciting with their lives.

On a point of order Thursday wasn't the first day of Christmas, it was the first day of advent.

First day of Christmas is 25th Dec.
