Being programmer is tough

He was working on script. Simple one but with an input on insanely large scale of obscure financial data. No one was even sure that data could compute. But it (and he) had no other option except to succeed.

And then the Boss came.

- Hey, why aren’t you working!?

- Wha!?.. I am!

- You don’t! *angrily points to multicolored lines of code on screen* You think I can’t recognize text file when I see it?

I wish this wasn’t real story. :)

    Well, it’s only mild case off boss being boss. There are worse things that can happen in IT. :)

    Man, IT is really full of horror story. I’m a computer engineer so I heard a lot of similar stories. Are you in IT Rarst?

    @nazham

    Becoming boss ever had anything to do with IT skills? :)
