I, for one, enjoyed that. It reminded me of back when I was a newby, on Dec. 31, 1999, when my supervisor (a consultant) decided that it was a good idea go do an application update on our main database application. He had been finishing up a Y2K server update (talk about waiting until the last minute) and figured, "Why not kill two birds with one stone?" Well, the application update failed and when he went to restore it he discovered that a) none of the drive mirroring was working and hadn't been working for 3 months and b) none of the tape backups had worked for a few months either. Needless to say, I did not make it home in time for the New Years Eve party that I was hosting. My friends gamely carried on without me. And I took that as a sign that I better learn my own business quickly so I could take responsibility and get rid of that consultant who supposedly new more than I did.
