Boss-across-the-hall update: horse report

Published by Becky S March 2nd, 2005 in sports, boss-across-the-hall

He is drowning in a .NET connection pool, which does not look like fun. But the big issue of the day is soulless office park basketball data.

Boss-across: I can’t figure out how to weight our horse statistics.
Becky: What?
Boss-across: As we play more games, the individual scores start dropping because of the way we run these reports.
Becky: What?
Boss-across: Scores can be anywhere from 0 to 1 minus the total number of players.
Becky: Oh.
Boss-across: It’s all in this Excel spreadsheet. Want to see?

UPDATE 3/4/2005: To the delight of the testosterone-ridden soulless office park, boss-across has figured out how to do weighted averages for the horse statistics. He is in last place, and I would really like to show him up on the court. However, I need a coach. Anyone? Anyone?

    I have no idea what that whole conversation is about. And I don’t think you did either.

    Yeah, I was lost. Also, I was busy trying to do some actual numbers for some actual customers.

    Sure…kick him in the groin.

    Kick him in the groin…twice

    Er, kicking boss-across in the groin is probably not the best career move.

    What I really want is a basketball coach.

    Wait, who’s John Cheney? I have this strange feeling that someone made a joke that went way over my head.

    I am a basketball coach.

    I know that I misspelled my name but lately I have been feeling a lot like a Dick Cheney.
