Hey peeps! I have exciting news to share with you all, my internet friends... it starts with me, unemployed, 5 months ago going on a job interview at Crum & Forster insurance in Morristown, NJ for a temporary position in their audit department.
I'm not a big fan of insurance. Nobody is, at first. But a job is a job and man was I unemployed as fuck. The way my soon-to-be boss described the situation was that they needed someone ASAP to help them with backlogged work, and that if I was good at the job and wanted to stay there may be a possibility for a full-time position.
In my interview she mentioned taking notice of my "Fundamentals in Python, Java, and JavaScript programming languages" under my Skills section. I said I really liked to code, and was interested even in positions in IT and the like. Computers were great, and I was going to enslave them all.
Fast forward 5 months and I'm being introduced to my future supervisor for a new team I'll be moving on to. She asks me all about my hopes and dreams.. so I mention my interests in programming and data, etc etc. I mention the name of a higher-up executive whose job I think is really cool.
With that, future supervisor lady talks to my current boss about how she'd love to have me on her team, but that I also seem very interested in something more IT.. She mentioned the executive, as well, that I had mentioned. My boss then tells that executive that if he has an opening, I might like to take it instead of going to this new team.
MADNESS ENSUES. Not really, but on Monday I'm going to be meeting him and possibly discuss working for him! There is one problem; I'm not entirely sure what he does.
I know he works with SQL and Access and Excel and some databases, but I've never done anything with SQL or Access, and I wasn't even sure about what a database was... So I started watching some mySQL tutorials through TheNewBoston on YouTube (man I love Bucky Roberts so much) and got a very general understanding from the first half hour.
Tomorrow, I'm diving deeper. Right now I feel like a database is just a huge collection of excel documents and there's probably (probably...) more to it than that.
So for the moment, Python is on hold! Haha... haha I say that like I've been just plowing through my Udacity courses. Whoops. Maybe Udacity should stop HATING EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING and let me be on the website for more than 5 minutes every half hour.
Anyway..
Got any experience with mySQL or databases? Give me a holla~
Love you guys even though you don't comment on my shit.
