unlike all of you guys who completed all their tax paperwork in January and already got your refunds back, my yesterday was
non stop juggling of funds so I could write a bit checks to my retirement and then the IRS before the April 15th deadline;
Personally I'm sapped emotionally from all the hoop-jumping.

I was nowhere near done in January but I did get it finished up over the weekend. Glad to have that behind me for another year.

I filed beginning of February this year, got a little back from the Feds and had to a just a little bit to the State of Colorado. Thinking I'll need professional help next year.

Anyone with partitioning expereince may want to jump in here. If the OP was populating empty partitions I had an idea, but putting more data in active partitions (especially in a database in the TB range) is out of my depth for what I know.

Three days of nothing...
It's quiet...
TOO quiet...
Either nobody has had any complaints, nor needed someone to jump into an issue, or else everyone is just to darn busy to visit the water cooler.
Perhaps all of the above.

Real work. For a change. Nice change, but busy.

Oh, and new toy.

Nosferatu? Don't think the car has energy vamps fitted. Will have to check the manual.

Or wrong game slang?
