Florida Governor DeSantis finally told restaurants in the state that they had to close their dining areas and do take out / delivery only.

Now my FIL, I'm not sure he cleans anything and tries desparately to get flour on every surface and use as many things as possible. I somewhat cringe when he wants to cook something.
I did manage to fill the jar yesterday
Having worked as a chef for the better part of a decade I was definitely not clean in the kitchen at home. But over the last 15 or so years I have changed my work habits and now the kitchen is typically cleaner when I finish cooking then it was when I started.
Sean, I'm glad to hear you've cleaned up your act. 😉 I never worked as a chef, but I really enjoy cooking. I've always been the type to leave the kitchen cleaner than I found it. I find cleaning as I go (not much during mis en place, but more while things are cooking) helps to eliminate the cleanup when I'm done.
I figure it's all a part of cooking and I can't stand having a dirty kitchen.

I have always kept a spotless work surface. But in the back of the house I was notorious for getting all the pots and pans, dishes and floor dirty. Not so much these days. Once I had to clean all that stuff myself I changed my habits. 😀

Heh... I never miss anything about SSIS or SSRS. I normally use a .357 on every instance I find. My skills are improving... I can actually sense one being stood up and shoot through the wall to hit it without looking. Unfortunately, it's a skill that people seem to prefer that I leave off my resume. 😀
How do you do reports then without SSRS?

How do you let users send stuff to printers with stored procedures? Sounds handy!

The majority of users don't have SSMS. They hit a website that fires a stored procedure to retrieve the data and then render it to the page. They can then print the page.
For people who have SSMS and privs to run procedures, they can copy data and print it however they want.

Crystal, powered by parameterised stored procedures. Very powerful 😉

You know why it's called Crystal right? Because it's very fragile and needs to be handled very delicately or it will break. I think the only reason people use it at all these days is because a small version of it was included with Visual Studio for so long until SAP bought it.

I liked it ok, only used up to version 9 so don't know how good it is nowadays, but on the other hand, ssrs has its own fun little quirks.

What we found out was that the users were using SSRS to make spreadsheets and reformat them and change them and add to them, etc, etc. We found that it was easier and produced results much more quickly to simply allow the users to call certain stored procedures from their spreadsheets. It still responds to AD logins correctly, etc, etc. And, the users hated SSRS because "it slowed us down a lot".
As for my morning reports for SQL Server, I wrote my own to create a little HTML and embed it in the email the server sends me every morning for SQL Agent Jobs across multiple servers and an Enterprise Disk Report that reports potential problems with disk space by server name and disk (including size, free space, etc) that covers about 148 servers (only a few of them are SQL Servers). That same report contains a "removable media" finder and it even includes "isDirty" and whether or not the server could be pinged and then logged into.

I did the same thing for the folks who were spreadsheet jockey's. The unfortunate thing was that people who are technologically challenged wanted to do it also, so the help desk got buried with requests for access to do this.

We have certain AD groups of people that automatically are members. If someone changes position, the Windows folks automagically move people from one group to another and that makes life pretty easy when it comes to which stored procedures people can execute.

Lol here they just add people to new ones, and there are layers to the onion. I have no idea how many things I'm still in after 14 years, get random emails and have different access levels than the rest of my team for no visible reason to me.
