I missed out on a big to do at work becuase my counter part was gone and someone had to hold down the fort.
I'm not sure I care. Looking at the way I handled busy w/my co-worker gone makes me question whether or not we need her. AND how I can box her out and take all the $

1. "getting ready to work from home again " In response to Reply # 0
expanding the office so there will be construction.
wife probably isn’t going back to education this year.. well, she already secured a week long residency at a university in Ohio so she will be teaching but not in a HS..
my only issue is working out the healthcare and now I STILL won’t know what its like to work from home by my damn self.

Hybrid works best for me. I have too many distractions to make WFH work well for me.
But Hybrid is MY SHIT. I get my work done, and then monitor my emails for follow ups, questions, etc. while I check out and just enjoy the rest of my day.
I LOVE that shit. Honestly, I miss it. But having a regular schedule, being able to get up early, hit the gym, go to the office, do my work, go home, eat dinner, watch a little tv, go to bed in time to hit the gyme again....

ive gotten in on time but the sleep hasnt worked out great. couldnt sleep well monday night so i woke up tired and later than i wanted but still earlier than usual.
last night i went to bed late and felt it this morning. havent been too tired yet. i did make it on time.
ive been exploring moving an excel table to microsoft lists. i spent most of the morning cleaning up some cells that were empty or didnt match the exact wording. once i was done i hit exit grid view, nada. i ended up clicking home and uh yeah none of the data that i pasted remained. around 400 rows. probably way to much to try to enter at once but yeah not sure how else to go about it.
9. "My VS Oracle connection was broken for a full day and a half!" In response to Reply # 0
Turns out I had the wrong version of SSIS installed. We need an older version for the connector to work. This really should have been documented internally. I have it documented now, but damn I spent a whole day and a half trying to figure this out! Documentation is a problem every where I work.

12. "I like that we have dev ops, analysts and DBA's here. In most of my " In response to Reply # 10
work experience that has all been lumped into one role - and one person filling that role. But man, these analyst straight up be coming to me like "the numbers are crazy" or "I have no placement data" and I am like "what does that mean!?!" I am not even trying to be sarcastic. I didn't write the code and "the numbers are crazy" is not phrase that translates to something I can troubleshoot in the database. Now when someone says "I am getting this invalid object error," that is something I can work with, but "the numbers are crazy" cannot be your serious response to me moving the ticket forward. I almost miss having all that shit on my shoulders because at least then I know what the numbers were supposed to look like or what placement data actually is - I knew the client side, I knew the db side, and I wrote the scripts back then.

14. "yup, the basics make a huge difference." In response to Reply # 13
if documentation doesn't start from the beginning of whatever, the catch up is terrible. if it even happens. then it's whole thing to update and keep current.
add to that, that NO ONE like to create docs. the folks that would write it best, typically hate doing it.
