So I get to process tons of data on a daily basis. I have developed some asp.net apps for our server that work with our database. It processes commissions, sales and renewals. I maintain the network and the database. I even do a lot of desktop stuff. I'm the IT department, with the help of my husband for the hard desktop stuff. I also help along with the business end of the company. I help with contracts and what ever needs to be done basically. It's nice because for the most part I'm my own boss."
