jon_chaissonOkay, so some of this stuff is actually sinking in. The theories behind what I'm supposed to be doing here make sense, it's just a matter now of knowing where I should go in order to do it. Lots of notes are being taken, lots of things printed out (thanks to the Support staff for reconfiguring my system so I can actually do so!), and little by little it's starting to make sense.
The weird thing is, again, that I never knew now much about banking I'd actually understand. There's a strange logic to it that, if I sit down and actually think it out, makes total sense. The practice itself, however, is another story altogether. ;)
Yesterday I was shown "The Book", which is a big honkin' hardbound tome with all the system codes explained in it--it's very much like the medical billing tome that comes out every year or so. I was also shown, much to my amusement, how it originally started out as a three-ring binder (with many pages now torn, natch), graduated to a plastic-tooth binder (I forget what format that's called) to a glue-bound publication (ditto), and finally to a hardcover. And we still have them, so I saw how much the publication itself has grown and gotten better.
One other observation: a programmer would love the job I have. The pay is probably nowhere near what they'd want, but the geekfactor on the coding would make one salivate. :p
Okay, onto more training! w00000t!
(NOTE: If I remember to do so at some future point, I'll bring in my camera and take some nifty pix of my window view. It's purty!)
