Connections

Over our fish and chips lunch, Rayloc, Steve and Kevin were all talking about some pretty interesting stuff.

"The connection data we're working on seem to be misrepresented." Rayana says. "They don't make sense as there seem to be huge gaps with the segments being reported on."

--- Black out alert!!! ---

"Yeah I agree." replies Steve. "We did some work investigating. Even pre-calculating the median to compensate for the unfactored indeterminates correlating with the pre-balancing issues"

I was just about to reach for a fork when I noticed that it's plastic. "Nahh." I reconsidering the thought as I have to stab myself a couple of times for that to work.

"Would you believe the margin of error to be 23%?" Rayana says laughing (obviously amused). "Even the base deviation was horribly skewed!"

---- Black out ---

"Well it could either be that the data just had some bad sampling or there might be something wrong with the source system load." Kevin says thoughtfully. "You know how that is, given the few issues we have migrating. But happens with every system though." He says reassuringly.

I was about to suggest that the hamster running on the treadwheel might be causing all these issues but got interrupted as Kevin continued on. (much to my despair).

"You know what, I'll check it out. Send me some of the source code used for the ETL. It may well be obvious for us to track down as your analysis may well prove that it's a data defect."

The thought of jumping through the window was now becoming a favourable option.

"Oh, That's nothing compared to the Cubes I'm setting up!" Jared pipes in, joining the fray

Having had enough, I took my mobile out. Flipped it open, even entertaining the thought of using it to club these people back into their senses, and politely excused myself to check my voicemail.

That's actually not a bad product at all, why doesn't anybody introduce a mobile service where you could send a text and an automated system rings you back to save you from that seemingly bad inescapable situations.
