Not much to report
Not much to report this week as of yet, been rushed off my feet with work and injured leg. I managed to put together my punch bag frame. I got to the last page of instructions where it kindly said you need two people for this section.. Like come on say it at the start. Yes i know read the instructions first but who does that.
Anyway in work, we have been aligning many of our metrics. This includes our automated survey system and our repeat call checker. So I have taken the first 2 steps into trying to make some sense out of it all. We have found some interesting things out such as over 60% of our customers that call back don't actually call in 14 days about the same thing. This obviously makes it a lot more complicated when looking at our call backs, also I built a model that can predict the amount of money/calls we would have saved if we had improved our non repeat score.
Anyway its Thursday I'm knackered, with one day left in work and off away again this weekend. Cant say where due to it been part of some big surprise for a friend.

Busy Busy Week

You know its been a busy week without actually getting anything done.
I got a my leg sorted but found it wasnt right so went back on Friday and now have another week to wait...
Also been manic week at work. Sadly the team i was expecting to go into has been made redundent. Really gutting for them, hopefully they will soon find something else with or without us.
So back I went over to my old team. I havent ever left completely as no one was able to take over my work load so not much else is different. Seems as always there is a lot going on, which means ive got plenty to get stuck into especially as our server has been on the skits...
Also had a night out in birmingham, and had grand time. Was right knackered and managed to mash my big toe in(dont worry not gonna post any photos of it :P). Was a great to meet the guys from uni been a long time and always entertaining night out with them. NAHHHHH

When everything else is rubbish theres always icecream
Another day another lack of work
Woo 3rd Post and I've managed to get a rant in.
Well Sadly i have not got that job i was after because I told them that my boss showed me the job which made them think that my boss wanted to get rid of me, shows what people think when your boss trying to help you.
Anyway in slightly better news I have been advised my current job is safe. One of the few around here. Shame i haven't been able to do any of my Sim only work yet due to people saying we need this we need that. I tell them of the work I'm trying to do and some reason people seem to think one little report is far more important than the other work i discuss with them.
I do hope that I manage to at least get started on the work that i feel should be prioritised...
Weathers been fair pleasant this week though :0
See you peeps

The biggest problem after starting a blog?
Well its quite simple, after you start a blog, what do you write...
I'm sure people have lots of goals in blogging whether its to alert the public to conspiracies or just to witter on about the weather.(probably there's people that witter on about the weather been a conspiracy)
Anyway after that bit of randomness I'll get onto why i decided to blog. Been honest it was after starting twitter and reading Felicia days blog http://feliciaday.com/blog(the writer of the guild, which i watched on Xbox live really amusing programme, even though it felt bit close to home).
Anyway I want to start trying to get peoples opinion on the work i do. I do a lot of analysis in my job while i obviously cant give my results out in detail, I'd like people to know the ways I've done it and maybe find flaws in my technique so i can improve. I'm only 24 so plenty more to learn.
I wont just be doing that, I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff I'll rant about, oh and don't forget them weather conspiracies(Come on I live in the UK the weathers always rubbish).
Hope you are all well out there
Cheers
