Here is another episode of a typical day for me as a DBA ...
Boss: I got a call from Mary that the database is down.
Me: Hold on while I check ...
Me: Just a sec while I open a cmd prompt ... sqlplus "/ as sysdba" ....
Boss: Don't do that! -- go check the green light in OEM!
Me: That's for babies.
Boss: That is our documented procedure.
Me: But it's faster for me this way.
Boss: Please follow our documented procedure.
Me: FUMING
Two hours later ...
Boss: What are you working on?
Me: Looking through index_stats to see if any indexes need rebuilding.
Boss: Check with the vendor first to see if they allow that.
Me: Don't worry, it's just normal routine DBA stuff.
Boss: Still, please check.
Me: Don't worry, it won't affect functionality -- they won't care either way.
Boss: Still, please check.
