Re: Another Oracle DBA gets "The Bullet" in the UK - Seeking an Oracle

Oh no - not you Rachel! Oy vey! Is nothing sacred?

You'd think that all of us talented, intelligent, technologically savvy people with time on our hands could come up with a start-up type thing and turn the world upside down, no? Any takers? Any great ideas that you wouldn't mind sharing with this small, informal audience of several hundred thousand?

My friend at the major bank cut his 5%. I wonder how they got to keep it out of the news... And he has a meeting with his boss next week sometime. Feeling the heat, as we say...

I met with three tech people last week at my sole interview since 9/11 (not like I was rolling in them before that...), of course none of them were in position to hire Oracle people, so then I had to go back to meet with HR. Now my interview process is stuck in HR and there are 'Issues.' If we solve the 'Issues' I get to meet some tech people who might actually be in a position to hire Oracle people. A bit of cart pulling the horse here...

Layla tov, buenos noches, bon nuit (sic), gutte nacht, oyasumi (Japanese, as in 'O I suyu, Oyasumi').

Ciao y'all. I'm outtahere.
