I am a SQL Server DBA who is a very proud father and married to a wonderful woman. I am a huge hockey fan and I just enjoy life.

@SQLFlipFlopsDBA I see a K.K. Slider on that tree as well. We just got one the other day for Reg.

Got in the mail today. I am excited to see what @GFritchey has done with this one. Especially knowing he did a complete revamp of it. And that @SQLMCT helped with the book.

@sqlstudent144 I had a similar thing happen to me a few years ago. (Was with last company 11 years). It can be a scary time, but I know you will land on you feet. Then you will be wondering why you didn't make the change before.

My new coworker wanted to do some paired programing today.

I have TempDB contention that slows down the system. Which if I run DBCC freeproccache that contention goes away for a while. Then after a hour or two (sometimes less) the TempDB contention is back. Is this being cause by a bad plan cached, or could it be something else? #sqlhelp

Had some fun with the kid tonight with some #marvelunited. It was a good time had by all.

@AngelaTidwell @pati_gallardo It has been a while but the quick the research I did was shoot particles at metal we were looking if it contained a certain element. We knew that if the particles came in contact with a that element it would release gamma rays of a certain energy. So we count up the gamma rays.
