Monday Work Lyrics
They say 3 percent of the people
use 5 to 6 percent of their brains
97 percent use 3 percent
and the rest goes down the drain...
I’ll never know which one I am
but I’ll bet you my last dime
99 percent think with 3 percent
100 percent of the time
64 percent of all the world’s statistics
are made up right there on the spot
82.4 percent of people believe ‘em
whether they’re accurate statistics or not
Well, I don’t know what you believe
but I do know there’s no doubt
I need another double shot of something 90 proof
I got too much to think about
Too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
There's too much to think about
They say 92 percent of everything
you learned in school
Is just bull**** you’ll never need
84 percent of everything you got
you bought to satisfy your greed
Because 90 percent of the world’s population
links possessions to success
Even though 80 percent of the wealthiest
1 percent of the population
Drinks to an alarming excess
(More money, more stress)
It’s too much to think about
Too much to figure out
Stuck between hope and doubt
It’s too much to think about
84 percent of all statisticians
truly hate their fricking jobs
They say the average bank robber
lives within 20 miles of the bank that he robs
There’s this little bank not far from here
I’ve been watching now for a while
Lately all I can think about’s
how bad I wanna go out in style...
And yes, I've got them regression blues...

ok I'll bite. What exactly is it you do, Cassandra? You must be having a really bad day.
I have always detested statistics. I dropped it in college, and it was my worst grade in business school when dropping it was not an option. It is a real handicap for me, because a good understanding of it is critical to really comprehending what is going on in my particular industry. I limp along as best I can, occasionally throwing out phrases like "R-Squared" and "long-tail" and "skewness" just to throw the wolves off the scent. But they'll get me some day and cast me out, like Akela after he missed his kill..

Oh extra points for the Jungle Book reference :)
I have kind of a weird job. I work in the IT industry, but I do lots of different things: regression analysis, technical writing, technical support, web development, research. I try not to blog about my job specifically so as not to embarrass my employer even though I blog under a pseudonym.
I'd be more specific but then I'd have to kill you.
Or myself...
