minus-squareDandroidlinkfedilink2•edit-28 months agoI’m thinking of the episode of That '70s Show where Kelso’s dad is trying to explain to Kelso what he does for a homework assignment. Kelso: “OK, let’s get started. Question number one, what’s your job?” John: “I’m a senior executive statistical analysis technician.” Kelso: “You’re a senior execu… what?” John: “Well, in plain English, I concatenate the verse statistical information to maximize the potential utilization of data.” Kelso: “So you give people data!” ( Kelso is on the verge of writing it down. ) John: “A lot of people think that. No. My job’s not about output, it’s about throughput.” Kelso: “So you throughput data!” John: “Well, now you’ve lost me, son. Oh, listen Michael, you know the eight tracks you love so much?” Kelso: “You make them!” John: “No, but because of us, other people who make them are able to make them better.” Kelso: “So, you fix stuff!” John: “You could say that…” ( Kelso starts writing. ) John: “But I wouldn’t.” ( Kelso erases it with frustration. ) And then it keeps going on the like for a while.
