I having been waiting feverously for my own blog for the last few weeks. My TechnoHubby has one, and even my TechnoTeenager has created her own. It's only a matter of time before the TechnoPreTeen figures out how to create her own blog..
Yikes!!! It's about time that TechnoMom assume her alter ego as SQLDiva and get to work blogging.
I started working in IS in the late 80's as a QA tester for a major insurance company and worked by way up to Systems Analyst during a time when 2-color monitors were the rage. Years passed quickly and my entire IS department of 400+ was outsourced to Big Blue. Instead of entering the ranks of Big Blue, I choose an alternate route and entered a Client Server Program at a Local Computer School(Chubb Institute). 15 months later, I emerged as a Client Server programmer in a Data Warehousing department of large Data Services company. It didn't take me long to realize that my destiny was to be a Database Developer rather than an Applications Programmer. I started working with Sybase & SQL Server(6.5) Databases in '98 and was invited to be the Database Developer for a application development department. I want thank all the production DBAs who didn't want to touch any development work and provided me with the opportunities to work on all facets of SQL Server 2000. Years continued to pass quickly and I am became the pawn of Off-Shoring as did most of the technical associates in my department. These days, I am a Database/BI Support analyst for a Global Manufacturer of HouseHold Cleaning/Food Products. I've never had so much fun!!!
When I'm not working, I am the Chief Operations Manager at our suburban NJ home. I also moonlight as the Transportation Director for the TechnoTeenager & TechnoPreTeen Divas!!! I enjoy finding new household organizational techniques so that my life can be simplified to the point that I can have more SQLDiva time. I also try to keep my TechnoHubby from getting swallowed by his Laptop(sorta like Augustus Gloop did as he got sucked through the pipe from the Chocolate River in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it!!!
