Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is for MS SQL Server, right?
Nope, Oracle. And every time I think I'll just wander over to the DBAs and ask for tnsnames help, I decide they've got bigger and better things to do, and maybe so do I.
I didn't catch up on email.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dunno about Oracle. My boss just writes pass-through queries on MS SQL Server Mgmt Studio in order to query stuff in Oracle.

Though I was in the tech thread here for a second!
Hi. I have been surgeried. Gave me the worst migraine ever. Went to bed when I got home, with a second dose of migraine meds, didn't get up for many hours. (No idea what time I got home, since I was in no shape to look at a clock).
This morning I can see!!!! I mean, it's still all a bit weird and tweaked and my eyes still kinda hurt (both in the spots they did things to but also the whole eyeball--apparently it's a pressure thing). And I could pass a drivers test today--20/40 in one eye (20/70 in the other but). Which makes me very frightened of everyone on the road!!

If you saw the Golden Globes, you likely saw Rudd's teleprompter mishap. he discusses it here:
he sounds like a person I'd like to have a beer with.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This is what happens when the Fresh Prince theme song is run through every language in Google Translate and then back into English:
You know, in case you were curious.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow, meara, that's great! So will your vision continue to improve as the lenses normalize?
Sometimes I miss SQL. But not enough to, you know, independently do anything with it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, meara! (Like Liese said...) That's really cool.

Meara, congrats on the sight! Sorry about the migraine...

I like SQL a lot, but my boss is better at it than I am. So he does most of the SQL stuff and I mostly do interface stuff (HTML or MS Access).
I've been fascinated by databases since '91, when I used a flat-file database and was amazed that I could search a 30 MB database (on an indexed field) in a fraction of a second on an old Zeos 286.
