Working with SA who believes that all problems on the box can be fixed by making Oracle SGAs smaller and who can, with a straight face tell you that it is normal for an operating system (that is NOT windows) to eat up 65 GIG of physical memory when the SGAs total nearly 14 GIG.

Becoming the resident expert on Oracle E-Business suite because you were too dumb to say no (and racking up 900 hours in 3 months trying to learn)

Having to drop everything to create new schemas because contractors don't know what their code is doing and feel that if you just make them the 10th schema, they can make their code work.

Spending a week on an ITar because no two departments can communicate and finding out that we were trying to prevent worms in the middle of a patch move up on NT....
