Compartmentalise: I try to give all I've got but not all the time - when I'm away from the office I grow veg and do the family stuff, separate the home and office and give all you can to each in due course.Harvey
I couldn't agree more! I also try to end each working day with a completed task, however small, rather than leaving something mid-flow. To quote Blur 'it gives me an enormous sense of wellbeing' 😀
In my experience a major factor of stress for a DBA is not being taken seriously, not so much as an individual, but in terms of the job we do; sad to say, but the majority of companies I've worked for tend to see DBAs as more of a necessary evil rather than essential members of an IT team.......maybe that's just a reflection on my poor choices of employer though!
