DBA Joke for Friday

How long does it take a DBA to screw in a light bulb?

6 or more weeks.....

1 week is planning
1 week to set up a new equipment and to install tools that query the socket every two seconds for power fluctuations. 1 week to evaluate what can be done with the old light bulb 1 week to set up development and test systems 1 week to test dozens of different light bulb/socket/light switch configurations and to measure the speed at which the light responds to the switch, ultimately choosing to not use a switch at all but install motion sensors....
The remaining time is the time the DBA waits to see if anybody asks "Where is the new lightbulb?"

Have a good weekend....those of you who are not migrating, patching or reorging....
