Finals nothing, try working in a office where everyone depends on you to come up with stuff that will save the company from going under but nobody understands your job or what you do. Then you have to make up extensive reports that try to explain to computer-illiterate people how you have been making progress on the software your developing. But in reality your not making any progress because you have to make up weekly reports for your supervisor so he knows what your doing, which of course he doesn't because he is not a programmer, and he comes over to your office seemingly by instinct whenever you get in the zone and asks for an update on the progress your not making. And on top of that you have an entire legacy system, that you wrote years ago and is in sad need of updating, that you have to maintain on the side but you can't spend the necessary time it would take to upgrade it because they want you to focus on the current project. And then out of the blue people walk into your office because the printer doesn't work or they don't understand how to read a billing report. And you never know when the
big boss might look over some finance report and decide to cut whatever project you have been working on for the last few months just because it wasn't done when he thought it should have been despite the impossibly huge task of creating such extensive enterprise solution and the fact that despite the scale of the project you already have 90% of it done.
