I haven’t been fired as a DBA, but I was asked to resign. It was a tough day, though a big relief as my boss was a ****head.

I’m traveling around Italy with my wife, so you get to re-read Getting Fired.

It’s Labor Day in the US and I’m likely tackling some chores around the ranch during a stretch at home.

I grabbed this editorial as many of us are labor. We work most of the week for a paycheck, trying to help our organizations and support our families. I re-read this editorial and thought about how I feel about How Much Can You Learn? I wrote this in 2016, nearly a decade ago.

Andy and I still talk about this at times, not so much for us, but for people we work with. A surprisingly large number of people struggle to improve themselves. For a variety of reasons:

• laziness
• lack of motivation
• lack of direction
• busy with life
• unconcerned about future employment
• ??

I don’t know why people wouldn’t be working to improve their skills. I need to rewrite this editorial for the modern, AI age.

I’m traveling this week to various customer sites. This is a hectic week, with trips to Norfolk (VA), Nashville, and St Louis. Three customers in three days. This is  a rough week, with meetings during the day, flying in the late afternoon/evening to a new city, and a repeat again.

As a result, you get What Keeps You Employed? to reread.

It’s Memorial Day in the US and a holiday. With a busy schedule, I didn’t realize this was a holiday and started to schedule some things before my wife reminded me.

So while I tackle some chores, you get a republish of More Linux than Windows.
