hobgoblinnI work for a high speed digital print company. Clients supply us with data, including the names and addresses of people they want their mailings sent to, and we write the programs to make that happen. Simple enough.
We have a client that cannot accept that their data might not be perfect. They expect that All records they send us will get mailed, and further, that if someone has moved from address A to address B, and they provide us with address A, we will somehow mail it to address B no matter what.
I hope even the least technologically savvy on my f-list will recognize this for the massive impossibility that it is.
So, in a meeting discussing this situation, I suggested the only viable solution-- wave a magic wand at the data. *poof* There. All better.
And that is how I came to be graced with the title, Minister of Magic for Miami Systems.
I'm told the bowler hat and tasteless pinstriped robes are not optional.
