The Baboon says: Hi Kev,

I was just looking at the lit dashboard and noticed that a 1111 was put in a phone number field. A dot ‘.’ should be used when the field is required, but there is no data ie normally the company name (for a prospect record card) and the phone number. Are all residential records now being set up as pospects as discussed?

I say: Hi you fucking balding baboon,

1111 was chosen back in the day when Carol was with us, we had two codes 1111 and 2222 [2222 was never used in the end]. 1111 represents either the caller won’t provide the phone number (which some don’t because they think we’re going to telemarket them to death) or if it wasn’t provided on an email, voicemail or web request.

So it’s turned in to a sort of universial standard in Lit Despatch.

In data management terms it is wrong to use 1111. This should NOT be used from now on. Please use a dot instead. This has been agreed as the correct format by [IT man] and [crazy analysist guy] thanks.

Are we residing on the same planet? I’m explaining why it’s occuring and it’s obviously slipped over her spotty face and shot over her big bald patch too, she didn’t inform us of this sudden change and yet LOL IT’S WRONG!!111 Duh. I’m still going to use 1111 though. HA!
