I'm trying to apply my learnings from yesterday and I'm not coming up with many options.

Noodle is STILL freaked out over being locked in the bathroom for a few hours while the pest guy was here. She flipped out when I left the bedroom this morning. I carried her to her food bowl and she scurried back to the bed. I then carried her to my spot on the couch and she finally chilled a bit.

But we are doing this again next week. The bathroom didn't work well. I can't imagine her carrier being any better.

So they're harrassing the retiree who sheltered some children during the shootings. God, that's revolting.

This honestly makes me despair. What is wrong with people?

Are your tables normalized, tommyrot?

My tables are so normalized, they're normalized up the butt. They're, like, so fucking Third Normal Form you wouldn't believe it.

Mostly.

Anyway, the SQL Server Browser service identifies the SQL servers running on our server. At least it's supposed to, but it's only identifying one of them, the bastard.

I don't know if this is an option, but whenever we needed the cats out of the way, we'd take them to a groomer for the day. They'd get shampooed and fluffed, and pick-up was usually pretty flexible.

Whoah! That's almost too much normal to handle.

Anyway, it amuses me how little database theory I hear in the real world. (Or at least in the database circles I move in. I don't think any of our clients have any really skilled DBAs.)

So far I have only found dog groomers. I'll keep looking.

All I know about SQL is what information to fill in on the installation screen. When it fails, I uninstall and try again, then yell for help, and we can then say "It's Windows' fault."

ION, the temperature is in the double digits! Yay! We may even break into the 20s today!

One thing I don't know about SQL is how to install the client. Since I got this laptop I've been a bit coy about getting it installed--I believe my job description shouldn't have SQL in it, but that's because the data in our app should be accessed through the interface, not from around back. That always ends in tears.

I'm not entirely sure where my department is. There computers are here and on, but I've been here over half an hour, and no one.

I guess I could catch up on email.
