The Lament of the Business Student

Today, I had a java presentation.

The web service we were presenting.... didnt work.

The other two groups both had grad students who were professional coders in them. Both of the other groups services worked.

And to top things off, the prof blamed our project not working not on problems with the technology (which it was) but with lack of effort.

I have been insulted, embarased, and verbally abused in front of not only my entire class, but in front of professional programmers brought in to help evaluate us.

I want to curl up into a ball and make the world go away.
