I wish I could say I found them remotely, but alas these were literally friend-of-a-friend type deals. More details: One of them was a bakery that was taking all its orders on paper, so I developed a simple but powerful system for them to t

I have; it can be tough especially if the client is a demanding one. For me it was more like 10-15 hrs/week, but sometimes it'd easily be 30 hours if things were broken or some new deliverable came up. Luckily my wife had her own

So that's what I should've done while I was there so we could've gotten a legit database to handle our yield curves processing! We were expected to do everything in Excel, and if we were lucky, MS Access :|
