I'm pretty much in the same boat. All my global databases are doing well. There are virtually no database issues. People wonder why the company pays me so much money for doing nothing.

However, I still get those calls at odd hours of the day/night (because of the time differences) from system administrators that think something is wrong with Oracle. Also, management loves to implement software upgrades/patches during the Holidays or weekends.

I'm just glad that I live in California, where a recent law (Assembly Bill 60)forces my employer to pay me by the hour. Overtime and off hour phone calls are my new best friends!

Regards,
Satar

Please understand that the Muslim faith does not advocate violence. The animals who targeted America are not TRUE believers of the faith and acted on EVIL, instead of the teachings of the Koran. Please do not displace your anger on innocent Muslims living in your local area.
