The Slings And Arrows Of Outrageous File Imports
So blaster151 and I are plowing through a hellaciously large emergency project at work. We're getting around 35,000 products and all the associated data imported into the Grocery Chain management software that our company makes. If that made sense to you, I apologize, sincerly.
Along the way, we discovered about 2000 or so products that aren't properly linked into a "product category" like Grocery-Meat or Dairy-Cheese or something like that. Benson and I were peering at this list of items, trying to decide what preoperties they might share to cause the problem. As we scrolled through the list, things started getting more and more surreal. We really want to know what product category includes items like:
"Dora"
"Butt Ugly Martians"
"Nascar"
"Spider"
"Singing Moisture"
Eventually, product names veered away from nouns entirely, prehaps representing an aisle stocked only with abstract concepts and metaphors. Want to buy some "Dream?" No problem! We also stock and sell "Hope," "Large" and the ever-popular "Medium."
I accept your apology. :)
I accept your apology. :)
hello..."Dora the
hello..."Dora the Explorer"
those would probably be "toys"
except the singing moisture.If it is, I am scared.
can't tell you about singing
can't tell you about singing moisture, but butt ugly martians is candy (really nasty gooey liquid sugar candy, though I think the product line also included gum and a lik-m-aid rip off. Dora most likely is a faux fruit juice festooned with Dora the Explorer hispanic heroine of children's tv. It might be candy too, but none of the stores in the chain I audit had any dora candy. Nascar and spider are candy or novelty crap jacked up 40% becuase they have nascar or spider man drawings on them. Dream might be cigarettes, might be dairy subsitites soy or rice milks.
Why, oh why am I replying to this post as though it were not rhetorical? Oh yeah becuase I spend my damn days auditing convienience stores and am thus compelled by some obnoxious force.
