my attachment

[Joseph_R_Thomas]

hi...
at this point where my course is about to end my school is sending me on attachment....
and they are giving me MRP and ERP attachment..
i always thought they'll gimme an IT attachement...
sigh,,,:( :(
i am sooooo bloooody sad............
i spent so much time learning so many languages and trying to improve my programming and they throw me in a manufacturing attachment...:(
i am sooooooooo heart broken....:(:(:(
i never felt this dissapointed in my life....
they are throwing me farther from IT field...they are pushing me into manufacturing....:(

See the good side of this. You can learn about manufacturing, and perhaps you can apply your programming knowledge even in this field.

Maybe when you finish the attachment you may work in IT field. And also you can continue improving your programming yourself.

Good luck.

manufacturing = factory = chemicals = illicit drugs = profit???

"sending me on attachment"?????
MRP, ERP?

What do these phrases and initials mean?

[Joseph_R_Thomas]

manufacturing makes me sad...and i feel pathetic..i feel as if i am goin away from IT...i feel scared...i feel as if the world is closing around me and goin to kill me and send me away from IT..:(
i feel very useless...

sending to attachment:after the end of the course my school has a 3 month attachment program..where they let you work as an intern in a company..by right its supposed to be a IT company..but due to the downfall of the economy, they cant find IT jobs to send us as an intern to
MRP:Material Resourse Planning(i hate it!it sucks!its hedious!:eek: )
ERP:Enterprose REsource Planning(I hate it!it sucks!Save ME!:eek: )

i feel if i go to manufacturing once..it will be on my resume..then i will get a job in manufacturing instead of IT..I will be doin something i dont like always..:(
they will pull me away from programming...:(
my skills will weaken...my will will deteriorate...my life will stink with manufacturing...:(
Lord, help me....
now it feels there is nothing left in the world worth living for,,,,
they broke me....the thougt of working gives me cold sweat..i cant sleep..it haunts me....it doesnt lemme concentrate...
i feel as if i am being sucked into a void...
this is torture....:(
why.....why me...:(

Speaking of that, why isn't Joe in the army??? Joe is in sing-a-prOn is he not?

Look at it this way. Some of the agile development process took heavily from the lean development practices of Honda and Toyota, and they are very much related. Just apply what you learn, and you will have an even better grasp of development choices...

[Joseph_R_Thomas]

I'm not a Singaporean..
I am on a scholarship here to study...
so i dont have to go to army....

but how can MRP and ERP be even remotely connected to IT..
in my subject that i had to take in my cource regarding ERP...
i had to learn the software "symix"
SYMIX-its such a shity software...i hate it....its so crapy software...
its all about manufacturing..:(
i dont wanna go to manufacturing side..i wanted experience in IT...not manufacturing...after my attachment... i wanna look for a job in IT..in programming..i dont wanna job that is even remotely related to manufacturing...:(
ther is no development process that is applied in MRP and ERP...its all a shity piece of software that does inventory management for you...
i alreayd had a hard time during the ERP subject tht i took...i was so relieved that i wont have to do it again...
but now.....:(
its on to me....
everytime i think of my heart just sinks...
i cant even put the hidieous feeling i get into words...:(

[souldog]

Joseph, all experience adds to you. Go and learn what you can.
Who knows maybe one day you will be writting software to
prepare a bill of materials or do inventory tracking.

[Joseph_R_Thomas]

yea...you are right Mr.Souldog...:(
i should just shut up and do it....:(

[M Owen]

Joseph,

One of the biggest gripes that customers/clients have is that we as programmers do not understand what they need ... Example:

To write business software you need to understand financials. Ledgers, accounting, credits, debits, etc ... Where or how are you supposed to get this understanding/experience???

Same thing for manufacturing ... There is tons of manufacturing programming that needs to be done ... Look at it as an opportunity to see things from the other side (at worst) and it may be the chance you need to get your foot in the door and say "Hey, I'm a programmer. I CAN do that for you."

[Joseph_R_Thomas]

yea.....:o
i hope something like that happens.....
infact i pray something like that happens.....
i really really hope something like that happens.....

I am on my way,:cool: I will post the result a few days later...

Trust me this is an illegally home address usage :cool: .

[gjs368]

ther is no development process that is applied in MRP and ERP...its all a <expletive> piece of software that does inventory management for you...So, find out what the software could and should do better by first-hand experience, and see what it would take for you to create a more useable and less frustrating replacement!!

:cool:

This smiley has some strange power about processing secret information from people...That may be a third party library that codeguru links to get jobs done more perfectly and the truth is that recently this smiley wacky has gota promotion.
Trust me ! Becareful !
I have nothing to lose, so I am not scared at all...:cool:

[hometown]

I need some REAL STRONG men who are called Mr BICEP/MUSCLE to do the tests....Could Galathaea and Souldog be in charge of this mission ? This is a mission POSSIBLE right ?

Thank you.






I dont like Robert to be in relation to this..

[Joseph_R_Thomas]

I do not think she is being off topic at all, attachment has a lot of meanings and and I guess she is talking about different attachments in the same thread :)

By the way, Fiona, who is Robert ? <--This is my attachment to Fiona :), any reasoning you might have ????
