MO/BO fuckups IT pain Rebooking trades Having to post people who have no fucking clue (basically anyone in a non-S&T role) Dealing with politics
Thanks for your answer. I'm afraid I'm one of those people who have no fucking clue. What does "Rebooking Trades" mean?
Figuring this out on your own entails a technically involved 3-stage process, so I'll give you a break. But allow me to illustrate the process, so you learn for next time. Something about teaching a man to fish.
Stage (1) - Examine the words "rebooking trades," studying them for meaning (1)(a) Understand that "Re-" is a prefix typically indicating repetition of an action. (Note 1) (1)(b) Understand that "booking" must be a process relating to "trades"
Stage (2) - Use the internet to interpret for the rest (2)(a) Google the following string, including quotation marks: "booking a trade" finance (2)(b) Identify relevant search results. (Note 2) (2)(c) Learn what "booking trades" means.
Stage (3) - Synthesis (3)(a) Recall item (1)(a). (3)(b) Connect it to knowledge acquired in stage (2). (3)(c) Learn what "rebooking trades" means, all by yourself!
Notes Note 1: I.e., "booking" the trade again. Note 2: the following PDF is 67-page academic study of the "Trade-Capture Process." You will find the answer to (2)(c) here. http://www.wpi.edu/Pubs/E-project/Available/E-project-011409-115202/unr…
