Forbez Vs. Punkaj

  • *Jeff Forbez (internet star on this blog) and a resource from India named Punkaj are having a discussion on Master Data*
  • Forbez: Punkaj, it doesn't really matter what data we use in this set... we just want to ensure that the system is pulling the data properly.
  • Punkaj: I understand.
  • *Author's Note - He clearly did not understand*
  • Forbez: We can just use rough data...
  • *Author's Note -We work with a colleague named Raphael and he is referred to as 'Raph'*
  • Punkaj: I understand.
  • Forbez: Great:
  • Punkaj: Do you want me to talk to Raphael?
  • Forbez: What?
  • Punkaj: To get some of his data...
  • Forbez: What?
  • Punkaj: We need raph's data to use the test...
  • Forbez: No we don't...
  • Punkaj: You just said we did...
  • Forbez: No! We need rough data...
  • Punkaj: I know!!
  • Forbez: Noooo, rouuugh data. It is a Canadian expression. Rough data.
  • Punkaj: What does it mean?
  • *At this point of the conversation I am laughing hysterically on the other side of the cubicle wall. I am out of sight, but still audible*
  • Forbez: Well, rough data means data that is not yet perfect... and may not be relevant to the real world scenario.
  • Punkaj: So this data will be false...
  • Forbez: Rough data is not correct...
  • Punkaj: I snuck in a competitor's product... can you get me a glass to pour it in?
  • Forbez: Yes.
  • *Conversation Ends*
