"Don't go on the database," they tell me as I arrived at work.

[billyskank]

I am a database programmer. Everything I do is on the database.

Shall I go home? :woohoo:

[Mutley]

28. I would.

Especially if you're salaried. Get paid for being at home. :P

:loveya: :hug: :*

[LynzM]

29. Oh, I love those days.....

Everything we do is database-based as well (Clinical Data Management). When the database is down, or the connection to the client is down, it's not even worth being there.

Go home, silly! :bounce:

[BarenakedLady]

30. Yes

And then fly to NY.

;)

:hi:
