Data Wrangler

A software developer / database administrator responsible for OLAP tools. Reports to a dumbass junior VPs of Sales, not the IT or IS people. Usually a low-paid consultant. Generates stupid reports for stupid people.

The data wrangler wants us to put another joint-key index on the sold_items table. Dumbass, doesn't he know that slows down inserts?

Tim Hortons

best coffee this side of the prime meridian; yet another Canadian enterprise assimilated by a huge American multi-billion dollar conglomerate (Wendy's bought out the chain in the late '90s).
