  Hahaha, you’re not alone there. I have that conversation with a lot of database administrators – not just public folks when I’m presenting, but at clients, too. Often the DBA is actually the problem – they’re focused on reducing fragmentation instead of asking what’s driving the users crazy.Hope you have a better 2014!
