Every morning here at “The Corporation” we have a developlers meeting. One purpose of this meeting is to inform all the developers of any hot items and new procedures. One of the new procedures is that if you need a database created, or something changed in the database, get the DBA to do it.

The other purpose of the meeting is to give the developers a chance to point out any issues they may have. This morning, that new policy sparked a heated debate in which two people began yelling back and forth. It was getting pretty heated and looked like someone was going to jump across the room and make a physical attack. That’s about when it was pointed out to them that they were actually agreeing with each other. They just weren’t listening!

Let me tell you, there’s nothing like a good dose of tension and frustration to start your morning right! Anyone out there hiring?
