In my day job, I'm a database guy...

I read xkcd (http://xkcd.com/). Today's installment (http://xkcd.com/327/) made me giggle.

LOL. That's fun. Now I want to name whatever child may come along in our future something db destructive. Of course, that'll likely only last through today.

Joel and I just discovered xkcd last night, and spent about half an hour before bed going through the archives and laughing until we cried. The one about "My hobby: I like to embed NP-complete problems in to restaurant orders" we found particularly amusing.

Yes! NOOOOOOOO sympathy for the school from me!

My most hated phone call as a DBA was the "can you restore just one table?" to which, of course, the answer is "It depends. Which table did you misplace or misuse?" Somehow that always means that I'm working this weekend and the bozo who droped a table is not.

Thanks, you made me laugh out loud during a pretty serious systems meeting... :P

I'm still snickering and shaking my head. The scary part is that while I'm not a programmer or a database person, I still understood the joke without having to have it explained to me ...
