Was this a geezer geyser spring? Did you find the biggest pothole nearby? Did the flood come from your water bottle (or maybe even worse)???

My poor hamster brain is struggling with this image!

@KristinaDMishra That looks really good, but I think that it needs more sausage and pepperoni! 😛

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@grrl_geek Challenge accepted!

I’ve seen lots of ways to hit new lows, and I can play limbo with the slimiest presentations that can be shown in public.

I’m waiting to hear from @PShore73 regarding the image of me doing any kind of limbo, or “going low” on anything!

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@KristinaDMishra Huh… I don't think I ever stop talking long enough to notice.

Keep on keepin’ on m’lady. You do amazing stuff all day, every day!

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@grrl_geek That’s funny in a special kind of way. I only visit Wisconsin a few times a year, but often enough that I get peeved and sometimes take orders from friends for a “cheese run”

People who have never lived in Wisconsin don’t get it. People who did appreciate my offer.

@vickyharp Congratulations to Microsoft for having made such a great decision and hiring you!

Thank you for your contributions and the amazing work you do every day!

You were a rock star long ago and you impress me with great leadership and ideas every time I stop to pay attention.

@DBABullDog I remember having a keyboard like that once upon a long ago.

That was in the time when fiddling with your dongle was an HR problem instead of an IT problem. We ought to start a GoFundMe to get you a keyboard from the twentieth century!

@tameraclark As a side note, this swap needs to be recognized when doing historical research. Keep in mind when events happened relative to when the Republicans and Democrats effectively swapped names. I can be really confused if I don’t note the era!

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@tameraclark Going back to the original post/question, stealing and being creative with reality have been “baked into” the party since the days of the Whig party. That creative approach to reality seems to have gotten worse lately.

4/4

@Uber_Support Thanks @Uber_Support!

Your customer service team have found my previous report and have already processed the important part. They have unlocked my Uber account.

We are still working on another part, but that isn't urgent.

I appreciate your effort!

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

Hey @Uber or @Uber_Support

August 28, 2023 I sent a message from your web site because my Uber account was locked. That message included a full description of the problem. The site told me to expect a reply in three business days.

What is your new estimate for some response?

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@SQLKohai My wife is a retired LCSW/LISW.

The required joke is now: Does your wife associate with therapists, or give therapy to associates?

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@pshore73 @tarynpivots Yeah, what @PShore73 said...

I can't believe that I just tweeted that!

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@GFritchey Coordinate flights with @BuckWoodyMSFT and you probably won’t even get noticed much less get any special Luvin from them.

They are only human. At some point they become desensitized. Especially after they see what happens to people that talk with him for a minute.

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@SQLMac Definitely hunt down the blogs by @MrDenny and @GFritchey.

Keep in mind that with only a few exceptions, @PASSDataSummit is just thousands of friends that you haven’t met yet!

Be sure to make time for vendors, especially @redgate and @Microsoft

[Pat Phelan (Mastodon @[email protected]) @YetAnotherSQL]

@sqldbawithbeard Eh, c’est la vie!

Thanks for the offer to share!

Like I need another distraction right now! 😜
