Help desk e-mail received at work: please explain how the hours worked for the day are calculated for this employee.

Response: you must provide the employee name or ID and day you are referencing so I can assist with this inquiry.

Comment to co-worker: I'm so tired of having to guesstigate for these people!

guesstimatrix 

Someone who thinks they can estimate cost or duration of a renovation project but who have zero construction experience and really and truly has no clue what is involved. A Guesstimatrix, always a female, is obviously smarter overall than a Guesstimator. Despite this natural female smartitude, Guesstimatrices (plural) have no business estimating costs or duration of projects.
She’s planning another home reno! And we all know it’ll be 300% over-budget and take months longer than planned…next time that Guesstimatrix needs to hire a real contractor!

a mix between guessing and estimating.
