What was your first assignment ...

... and how majestically did you screw things up?

Curious to hear from summer/current/former analysts about your first assignment after joining the bullpen. Was it a comp sheet you needed to update or a CIM you needed to do some writing? Did you go over your output like a zillion times but then received it back with red marks all over the place?
