YES !!!!!!!!
Once upon a time while self-employed as a high powered consultant, er uh,
lowly DBA contractor, I was coming into my client about 7AM facing an URGENT
recovery of a key production system. I reviewed the manuals on my laptop
while riding the train and stood in line for a Venti Sumatra at Starbucks.
When I walked in the director looked at my coffee cup but said nothing.
Within a few minutes the recovery was complete. Later the director asked
about why the recovery went so smooth. My reply was, "Good backups and good
coffee." The director had hands on technical experience and appreciated the
value of both.
