This is an email conversation between me and one of my colleagues in Japan. 
They are doing some lifetime test on one of our products and update this 
graph every 1000 hours with new measurement data (which they do in their 
department).  They have always just sent me a pdf before but this month they 
didn't send anything...

Me: When can receive the latest graph with 7000 hour updates, my 
calculations show it should be ready by now?

Them: Sorry we shut down the power over xmas/new year and so we are delayed 
by 2 weeks.

(2 weeks later)

Me: When can we receive the latest update to the graph? Can you send the 
actual data behind the graph too please.

(no reply, but i get sent the updated graph from one of our customers here - 
wtf)

Me: OK I've been sent the graph from one of customers here, in future can 
you send it to me at the same time to avoid confusion here.  Can you send 
the actual data too please?

Them: Please find attached the updated graph. (which I already have)

Me: Thanks for that, but can you send the actual data that was used to make 
that graph?

Them: I'm sorry, I don't have the actual data.

WTF!!

Me: Please can you request the actual data then from whoever made the graph?

It's so frustrating at times!
