However, I've enjoyed reading them. Makes me feel like I can participate even while I'm here in Minneapolis on call24 hours a day.
I think most Oracle DBAs would admit that it can be a demanding, stressful,
long-hours, and often-thankless job. It's easy for me to forgive people for
getting excited about taking a break from all the work and getting away
to a different, and often exciting location. The chance to meet seldomseen
colleagues and partake of all the excellent sessions, papers, food,
etc. is something we really look forward to. Plus, I personally enjoy getting
some insight into the personalities of the professionals that respond so
frequently and give of their time and experience to help their colleagues.
It makes them seem more human.
Given that this is an international Oracle-sponsored event, I think that
mail on OOW is on-topic. If you're tired of seeing this subject line, just
hit the old delete button.
