(no subject)

It's way too early in the morning for me to have to make tough decisions, but I have to decide: should I bang my head on the desk, or do one of those facepalms of exasperation?

When somebody (I shall refer to him as Mister Whiskers) in the company requests some specific customer data, is it too much to ask that Mister Whiskers would at least know how to interpret the data I give him?  I'm not talking about some of the complicated, esoteric portions of the data, but the bits that our new-hires learn about in their second day of training.  Stuff so fundamental to our operations that the innate, intimate knowledge thereof is usually a given.

Not only can Mister Whiskers not read the data, but he doesn't even seem to remember what he wanted.

Mister Whiskers: "Ack!  Red alert!  World imploding!  I must have all the data on A, B, C and D.  Now!  Yesterday!"
Plonq: (works unpaid overtime to get the data): "Here you go.  You can thank me later."
Mister Whiskers: "How do I read this?  And where is the data for E?"

Um... yay.

My new job title is...

Senior Business Specialist

Gah.  Could they make it any more generic?  Isn't there usually something in the job title that gives a clue about what the person actually does?  This leads me to suspect that they don't actually know what I do on this job. 

I suppose that's both good and bad.
