There are days....


Me: Do you know if anyone is running jobs on [Server name]?

Coworker: No.

Me: No, they're not running them or "no, I don't know".

Co: I don't know

Me: *IM's dba team, no response*

My painfully simple query finally returns...."No data to fetch"

Me: AAAAAAAgggggggh! How can this be? The fund is on the table, table has data, no cartesian, no outer join....I'll run an explain...

12 minutes later...

Me: Ok, explain plan is fine, so what the @!&*^? Hey Coworker, come look at my query.

Co: What's up?

Me: What's wrong with my query?

Co: Nothing looks good to me.

Me: So why don't I have any data?

Co: No idea.

15 hours later....I'm checking my email as part of my morning routine....

DBA has sent an email to the team explaining that yesterday he was re-running a job that failed over the weekend. I swear, he's lucky he sits in New York.

Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
