I know I am not a complete waste of life even though I feel that way right now. Hopefully soon my outlook will match my feelings.

I think I have all but given up here. I need to find a new place. I understand, hopefully, most of the mistakes I have made and the situations I want to avoid in the future. I don't really want to give up, but It is becomeing painfully obvious to me that I am not what this company needs. I...

Thank you for the advice. See the problem compilcates because this is a small company so the only one above my boss is the owner. We don't have an HR dept. per se. We just have an employee that is aware of the mental heath of the others. :) Our team (between the three of us we have 5 1/2...

Okay, I finally think I have hit a wall. I don't know how to talk to my manager. He doesn listen to me at all and the leader of the team gives into all his (sometimes unreasonable) demands. I can't keep up. In my opinion the job has gone beyond it's original scope and I am failing to keep up...

Thanks for your suggestions though. I am definately going to use if not offically at least for my peace of mind. My boss is a short-term thinker. I can tell by his now, now mentality. Which is great for a new business and makes it pretty flexible, but if a thing that has a large cost now he...

How did you get them to let you do that? What changed? How did they see the need?

You mean they actually give you time to design something? I am jealous. :) If it can't be done in a week my boss usually want to put it on the back burner. So absolutely annoying. I think I am going to try and figure out a way to write up a proposal and tell him my ideas in a whay that a...

Not claiming that I know much, but the insurance and other benefits should count between 4-6 grand (probably overestimated) when you think about them. So if you are doing a direct comparsion of monies earned you can not forget convert the benefits into "cash" for a better estimate. Salary...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Yes, all my teammates feel that we have so much to do that we will never get it all done. I guess I need to get over my feeling that my boss has to be right even when I know something will not work in the time time frame he set up. I am hoping more experince...

Thanks for the suggestions! However, I tried using the estimates and I get this look from my boss that just makes me doubt everything I just said. Will I become immune to his look?

I have only been really working in the field for about 7 months. My offical title is Database Programmer. How do I keep myself from feeling overwhelmed? I am on a technology team with two other people. We have really limited resources and we are developing several products that need a lot...

Alright, so I tracked down the word constants. I used the constant wdPasteMetafilePicture and it pastes my object just like I want it too. However this puts me back at a problem. I tell the cursor to go to a certain location in the word doc and then I tell it to paste ( you can see this in my...

I changed it to this and now I get an error that the datatype is incorrect. No I am not going to argue with vba that the dataype is correct when it isn't....So what I am tring to say is where is a list of the datatypes available for each method. I looked on msdn and I couldnt find a list any...
