“What do you do for living?”
“I am a computer for the First National Bank.”
That was a conversation 50 years ago, when computer was a job title, a position for employees.
“Honey, How’s your day like?” My wife asked.
“Very busy, I worked whole day with enterprise manager to fix problems.” I answered.
In my job as database administrator, I work with many managers, but they are not my bosses, so I don’t listen to them, instead I use them and abuse them sometime, that’s OK because they are not real people. Of course I have real human managers that I don’t want to abuse.
Now let’s see how many managers I’ve worked with:
- Enterprise Manager
- Server Manager
- Recovery Manager
- Network Manager
- Memory Manager
- Data Resource Manager
Not only managers, I also work with a bunch of assistants, brokers, and advisors, such as Database Configuration Assistant, Data Guard Broker, Automatic Segment Advisor, SQL Turing Advisor, SQL Access Advisor, just name a few. What a great team.
What’s your team look like?
Printer was person too, my uncle was a printer working for a big corp some 30 years ago, is that funny?
