i just spent 45 minutes of my life gathering information for an analyst in a spreadsheet so they could see how many units of title "A" have been received over the life of the product.

side bar - an analysts job entails two things; running reports in whatever system their company uses and analyzing that data.

this analyst asked me what reports i run in the system if i wanted to see how many units i had made. i'll rephrase that last sentence so those of you who don't do this for a living can hopefully understand. this analyst asked me what reports i run in the system if i wanted to ANALYZE how many units i had made.

i'm in manufacturing, i could give three shits to ever know how many units i have made. my job is to make them; your job is to fucking analyze them.
