It isn't the motivation that is the issue -- it's the time I don't have to search with engines that don't search for items I only know of by speaker or by vague topic. We are in the process of migrating to Exadata and that, at the moment, is taking the bulk of my time. With no SMEs available in-house and a copy of Kerry Osborne's excellent Exadata text at my side I've been having to learn the machine on my own (which makes for long nights at the keyboard 'playing' with the db servers, the storage servers, cellcli, storage indexes and the like) my day is pretty well spent by the time 1 AM rolls around. Apparently the work is paying off so I continue my Exadata journey.
Thankfully I enjoy what I do.
