Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Horrifically, Vertiginously OT RE: NT Script
<mock horror on>
Wow, you have reproduced?!?!?
<mock horror off>
:)
but....to answer your provocative question: "Neither!"
I was a consultant too. The lies...the deceit. The constant learning of "new tricks" favored by each "client". A different "job" every day. The anonymous calls...all the package bodies, many without hygienic wrappers...My tnslsnr had a port in every storm, and I denied service to no one. Pretty soon I had my own site, and was "serving pages" to anonymous users for cheap, second relationships. I even inserted records into distributed databases!
I felt dirty, 100% used, 0% free, and cheap.
After a while, I came to see the SQL*Error of my ways.
I became a wage slave. I joined the fold. A group of like-minded people. People will values like my own......I received forgiveness for all the child records I left with my forgotten clients, and moved forward into the First Day of the Rest of My Life.
Come to Larry, Tom. Come to Larry and let him HEAL you.

Yea, Paul, what gives?
Are you saying that we should all
just stop learning, give up, FDISK /MBR
our NT hard drives, Bobbetize our nether parts
and head for the coast?
Huh?
Are ya?
Gawd, I wish Eric were here; he'd slap
you around with the Barbie you so clearly need.

p.s. btw, as a former conslutant, one thing i learned was, whenever my clients asked anything about oracle on NT, I just laughed cynically, shook my head disconsolately, and said "NT? It'll never be scalable. It's really just a buggy piece of poop."
p.p.s I just used the word "poop" because I was with my kids for the entire weekend. Many concepts in a young person's daily flow of events center around "poop". It in no way reflects on my Rigidly Authoritarian Employer's view on life.
p.p.p.s Even the phrase "Rigidly Authoritarian Employer" has nothing to do with my employer, workplace, co-workers, or stance on political correctness.
