I had a sit-down with the boss man the other day where I learned three very important facts.:
- I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing and what the economy/investment/money is
- there's a finite amount of time before everyone else that I work with also realizes this
3. I'm a tool
The main purpose of this sit-down was to explain what our small little group does in the fast empire that is apparently Deutsche Bank. So we started out with facts such as
- Deutsche Bank is an empire.
- An ORFE major would have been a better choice as an intern, whereas a COS major was probably just a mistake...
- Germans are going to take over the world
- [propaganda]
and, most importantly:
- working at Deutsche Bank is not the equivalent as working at Bank of America. As in Deutsche Bank invests people's money and Bank of America is just a regular bank that you put your money in and get loans from. This was not explicitly stated, but it's what I gleaned from the conversation using my rudimentary knowledge of both the German language and Bank of America…which might explain why when I checked BoA's wikipedia article just now, I learned that BoA does, in fact, invest people's money. Fact 1 that I have no idea what I'm doing: proven.
I'm sure there were other points, I just couldn't understand them.
A tool would never admit to being a tool. You're still awesome. For the internship: just google it. Seriously. I have learned entire programming languages like this.
