Rampidbyter Rampid byter: A byte of my .Net developing life.

Thursday was my first day of financial analysis tools a level 700 finance class, and all I can say is wow. I learned so much in the four hour period that my head felt like it would pop. I can now tell you how to calculate future value or present value of money given a period of time, interest rate, and any combination thereof. It was so much information I felt like my head would pop, but I did meet a very nice lady from China who talked to me for a little bit. Pretty nice girl, finishing her masters in statistics, but I won’t hold that against her.

Anyway, after another grueling 15+ hour day I was unloaded on from my main boss when the clock struck four and I started to head out. Turns out the program he’d told me earlier in the day that ‘he’d like it soon’, well he actually meant the next day by 8am, and I don’t get in till 6:40amish. I have to tell you the program I’ve been revamping (program 2 or 3) was in horrid condition. It was totally linked to older servers with old data tables, and absolutely no comments as to what did what. All the methods, variables, and everything you could possibly imagine was some sort of abbreviation that meant absolutely nothing to me. I had to literally read line by line and refractor everything. So after a full day of working on what I’d assume was months worth of work by this guy I was asked to have it ready the next day by 8am. Sadly that was beyond my means so my main boss was not exactly pleased.

Be sure I’ll expand on my experiences with school in more detail, but for now I’m off to get more work accomplished.
