Good morning!!!
Nov. 21st, 2002 07:04 amWelcome to a bright sunny Thursday morning.
I've been here since 5:30, getting my regular daily checks run and report written and sent out. It's now a little after 7 and I leave for Denton in about 20 mins. to spend the day creating 2 more databases with the UNT database administration staff. I'm a little ticked off about this and I probably shouldn't be.
E. (Sr. DBA at Denton and B.'s boss) suggested that me and B. do this on Wed. and today. When I asked what time they wanted me up there, B. responded that 9am today would be fine and sent me the docs to look over. As I was perusing them yesterday, I'd thought maybe we really should have given 2 days after all - and do it while the consultant was there (she leaves today about noon). So I suggested we might want to wait until Monday. The response I got back from E. was that "We're already a week and half behind. That's why I suggested y'all start this on Wednesday."
Well, it ain't my fault they're a week and half behind. And B.'s the one who sent back the response saying we'd meet Thursday at 9am to do it. Didn't seem to bother E. then. If E. thought we needed 2 days and the consultant to be there, why didn't he override his lackey? Sheesh - give me a freakin' break, will ya?
Maybe I'm just too thin-skinned about this, but damnit, the UNTHSC technical staff are treated like poor stepchildren during this whole process. They think of us at the last minute. And then to turn around and imply that it's my fault we've waited until Thurs. - that's a crock.
Well, gotta pack up and head north. See y'all tomorrow.
(I'll try and check in on everybody's L-J periodically during the day to see how y'all are
