Doing the dance of geeky triumph
I am a genius.
I have completed the current Really Big Project on the agreed delivery date. It includes lots of really complicated SQL embedded in Excel and run via VBA, exporting of files, programmatically adding VBA to some of the files to create print buttons, exporting some of the data as HTML (OK, I borrowed someone else's code and adapted it for that bit...), auto-emailing the files and only sending certain files to certain people with some emails containing plain text bodies and other pretty HTML bodies containing summary charts.
This was a seriously programming job and I'm really very pleased with the results, if I say so myself. Hence, I am a genius.
I also hinted to Da Boss that, should his dreams on some of our reporting be allowed, I am very open to the idea of being trained up in .Net so that I can be dream implementor. I'm not holding my breath on this one, but if I can get some .Net courses and practical work experience under my belt then that will be a very good thing for my CV :-)
In other news, busy weekend ahead OMG. One of those things is hopefully (bad back permitting) seeing Casino Royale, so I'm not complaining *g* And I had the time to sit and read a bit of fic last night, including a couple of ones that have already been reviewed. Hopefully I'll have a few new reviews up before Christmas so that I don't have to worry about having no ideas Christmas fic and therefore not joining in with the seasonal giving concept.
