Little Mr Mahatma

In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky.

Mr Mahatma--who is a Mr in real life--lives in the valleys of Southern California with his wife, a herd of Dears, and an impressive collection of books. Pnorny!

Little Mr Mahatma

Wednesday, July 12, 2006

Overworked Wednesday
You can't win. You can't lose. Sometimes you can't even play the game. I've been at my job 2 months and everyone thinks I'm the Master of the Data Warehouse, capable of extracting the most excruciating details witha single mouse-click. Thing is, I'm still figuring the damn thing out. IT and I know the data repository is in sad shape yet I keep pulling out numbers that seem to make sense. At least, my customers are pleased. I'm very tempted to simply fudge numbers but that would be completely unethical though highly efficient.

Problem is, if I did that, My customers would expect even faster results. Already my "three-day" rule has been broken. That rule is, simply, for any data request, it'll take at least three days to fulfill. Now it's down to hours and they want more. Uggh. Why this career path? Why can't I be something fun or interesting like an engineer or a movie director?

Ah well. That's life. C'est la vie.
