Job Satisfaction

Interesting post by Andy Leonard.

Done and Out

for a week. I'm leaving for vacation and leaving SQLServerCentral.com in the capable hands of Andy. He'll be sending out some canned editorials as he's pretty busy at work, may be some interesting articles coming our way soon, so if things don't appear, it's his fault :)

It's always something

This is lovely
