hang on... You mean you get *paid* to watch College Football:-) What a job;-)  

I get paid a little bit for college football.. But officiating the game isn't the same as *watching* the game.

Create a new top 5 list ... it is fun  

It stinks to be in office on Sat, but it is the start of College Football season, and I have to _watch_ the games till 11pm tonight, while sitting in office.

how about DBAs with attitude problems? DBAs who refuse developers access to v$ views. DBAs who refuse to listen to developers. DBAs who who refuse to explain any decisions to developers. DBAs who are pure production DBAs and have no knowledge of development and cant even write PL/SQL?  

Ive worked with quite a few DBAs who only know a fraction of what they think they do. Same holds true for developers and managers. So its not one way. Attitude is harder to overcome than competence. Someone with a good attitude can learn. Someone who knows and has a bad attitude can be intolerable.  

The worst kind though is the jack of all trades who thinks he/she knows everything about everything yet only knows a little about everything. Those are the worst.

Top 5 problems ...

  1. Developers (who think they know everything)
  2. Developers (who think, others think they know everything)
  3. Developers (who think but just not coherently)
  4. Developers (who DON'T think at all)
  5. Developers (these work for Oracle)
