Not the Tuesday I expected...

It doesn't look like I'll be able to post what I initially planned to.  I am swamped with client calls and emails.  I also received multiple alerts in TFS (don't ask) with tasks that have been assigned to me for testing.  If any of you ever wondered what I do for a living, I will explain briefly.

I work for a financial technology company in Midtown called Ipreo.  We have multiple functions but we mainly focus on the IPO market.  Ipreo provides new issuance software applications that help all players involved in Capital Markets to execute their deals more efficiently, maximizing time and resources.  I specifically work with the Munis (Municipal Bonds) group.  Our sole purpose is to assist clients by creating and tailoring software that fit their business needs.  It's all pretty cool stuff if you have an overall interest in finance, and want to understand the way software can streamline business functions. But enough of all that talk...

So why is my Tuesday a disaster?  I have been regression testing my life away since 9am, I have a Friday deadline for everything to be completed, and everything that's supposed to work is of course, BROKEN.


P.S. Did you also know that there is an NBA LOCKOUT?  That makes me more upset than anything.  I don't get to disrespect Knicks/Celtics fans.  More on that later though.
