Just can't do it. It's just too self-serving in my opinion to nominate myself. I'll admit, no one here at work knows about the Exceptional DBA competition, and I am one of three in our DBA group (I'm the lead with a Junior DBA and Database Programmer in my group).It would be very humbling to just be nominated yet alone to win, but even I don't measure up to my own standards, as I set a very high bar for myself. There is so much to do and never enough time to do it all with the other duties and requests that keep coming my way.
I agree, I too think it is a little self-serving to nominate yourself, but as stated before know one really knows about this outside of us DBA's, so I realistically don't see this going very far. 😀
