Boring white collar work from home stuff.
So I got brought in to do this data mining project. The company has these huge complex databases. You can use SQL code to pull reports from them. Then there's a software that lets you combine these reports with Excel (among other) sources to add in data fields that aren't part of the original data and then export to yet *another* software that lets you create graphic representations of the data. That's what I'm doing. Started almost 2 months ago and am finally on the home stretch on it. So I've spent the afternoon fighting with a graphic because it doesn't have a caption--while the one that is nearly identical to it in another page (there are pages like Excel has) has the caption. Ultimately asked for help and the workaround was to create a duplicate of the page which *did* have the caption. So of course then I needed to delete the old page and rename the new one to get rid of the (2). But it wouldn't let me delete any of the existing pages. Best I could do was rename the old page to something else so I could give the new page the name it needed.
Meanwhile, my friend/boss had an urgent project not directly related to the one I got hired to do. But his computer died while he was trying to send it to me. Sp I was dead in the water.
I'm also helping out with end of month accounting tasks. Well, I've got stuff to do again, so I should get going.
