Good point!!

In software development I am nowhere near you guys. I read articles on this site like mad just trying to keep up....lol.

I like the IT Solutions Coordinator. Sounds like a lot of tasking I've got on my plate yet I've done it to myself getting involved in so much. Even worse in the military I'm a Steelworker doing welding and fabrication work on armor plate designs amongst any fighting, bridge building or convoys....thanks for the reply

Guys I've been out of the loop for a while. I recently returned home from Iraq and Korea and getting ready to saddle up to my desk in my office to re-begin my civilian life. The task I have recently received in my company is the decision and the description of my new title. The description I can write however my job covers so many different technoligies and areas that it is difficult to pick one that satisfies what I do. I work in the Litigation and Data Forensics market. I have a short list here of tasks that I am responsible for. I'm looking for some ideas that would help me choose something that fits: 1. Maintain IT infrastructure (SAN, Firewall, Switches, Tape Silo's) 2. Database Architecture, Administration, Design 3. Business Intelligence Reporting Design and Analysis 4. C#.NET & ASP.NET Development 5. Production assistance for Exchange Server, File Server, Linux, Unix, NetWare data extractions. 6. Discover, test and implement new technologies. 7. Interact with clients and vendors during many project stages. I am at a loss......LOL. No one title covers or is broad enough to describe what I do. Thanks for the help, Phil

I am still learning the ins and outs of being a telecommuting developer. I recently returned from a trip outside the US, was gone for a while. Now I am sitting in a state far away from my office where other people are diligently working daily. I have another job that I am doing during the day which for this post I will leave out. Yet I am trying to help my company on projects that need to be completed. I am trying to help yet feel as though I am pulling my hair out trying to understand this new DB schema. I look at columns and tables trying to get description, how the flow of the data will go. I have pages taped on my wall of diagrams trying to piece together the missing pieces in my mind on how it all fits. I've read the documentation that's been generated. Column and table descriptions are not really all that descriptive, almost vague. I find myself stuffing data into tables on my system trying to make it make sense. I have tasks to complete, and sometimes not really getting as many tasks as I would like, but have asked and asked and asked only to come up with even more questions. :confused: I am wondering if there are any other telecommuting developers out there and if they have any horror stories, experiences, lessons learned about walking into a project midstream and trying to pickup and understand where everyone else is at. Especially when you are trying to do it from home. I am really trying to make this telecommuting work. I also appreciate if anyone has some good telecommuting tips too.
