Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Off topic, humour, flagrant breach of the rules
This should make it through GE's filters but ..
I think they have it backwards though. Shouldn't it be "something to protect the software from Matt" rather than "software to protect Matt from something"
My apologies Jared, but it's only one rule. I usually break them 4 or 5 at a time.
Announcing a new musical with music by The Travelling DBA's !!!
A one act musical on UNIX, NT/2000 clients are advised to reboot after each song and apply all new Microsoft patches.
Curtain rises ....
A DBA's spouse wanders down to the basement where his or her partner has been tele-commuting for the past little while and breaks into a song by George Thoroughgood.
Get a haircut and get a real job,
clean your act up and don't be a slob
Get it together like your LITTLE brother bob,
why don't you get a haircut and get a real job
Next we join our intrepid hero(ine) in SILICON VALLEY!!!
Working 5(am) to 9(pm), what a way to make a living
barely catching by, it's all taking and no giving
they just use your mind, then they never give you credit
Enter stage right, the NEW BOSS! Best portrayed by a young person with no experience who has one of the following certificates, MSCE or OCP. (Cisco certified techies are ineligible for this role)
With apologies to AC/DC
Walk this way
Talk this way
DBA this way
Administer this way.
Cut to our hero(ine) who appears to have many more grey hairs (and wrinkles) laughing hysterically just before you hear the wonderful music of Johhny Paycheck!
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
My CLIENTS left and took all the reasons I was working for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more
Fade to a chorus of sysadmins, network admins, and data entry clerks crooning to the tune of You've Lost That Lovin Feeling
You've lost that Dee Bee Aaa
Whoa, that Dee Bee Aaa
You've lost that Dee Bee Aaa
Now it's gone, gone, gone, woah
Final shot
Our hero, once again in the basement with the loving spouse leaning over his/her shoulder whispering "I'm so glad you're back to stay"
Curtain falls .....
Thanks to all who have helped me at this job. I will rely on you at my next one :) (In Calgary, at one of Canada's largest ISP's)
Jared, I'll be good from now on, I promise.
After Friday I will be reachable at dvmrgn_at_telusplanet.net.
