Hey Steve,
Good luck with your future endeavors (not that you will need it). Safe travels to SQLBits and I'll probably see you there!

Have some fun and enjoy the opportunity.On the side, will you be back June 14th or July 14th?
If Steve's managed to squeeze a 6 week break into a 2 week period, I really want to know his secret. 🙂
That's kinda what I was hoping for - to find out his secret. 😉

He's clearly testing Redgate's new temporal compression module for the toolbelt.How else are we expected to provide solutions yesterday for the tasks we won't get a spec for until tomorrow?
DBCC timewarp?

He must mean July as SQLBits is July 17th, either that or i'm going to miss the conference i'm booked for by a month 🙂
That's what I was suspecting.:hehe:

6 weeks sounds like a lot - if you were anything like me it might just disappear without you getting anything done, apart from improving Mario Kart skills.Good luck with the flagpole.
He said June 14th, but I assume he meant July 14th. Either way, posting an editorial with the title "farewell" sounds odd when he's just taking a vacation. That parting expression sounds more like he's out the door to begin a new career at a startup company or something. There are people in my own department who could take two weeks off from work, and I don't even notice. 🙂

If you are afraid of taking time away from work (using words like 'nervous' and 'scary'), perhaps you derive too much of your own sense of worth from your job? Just a suggestion.

Maybe he's concerned that we'll run wild in the forums while he's gone. 😀

Steve, do yourself a favor and totally unplug - even if only for a couple of weeks. No side projects, no blogs, etc. I promise you, your brain will thank you! And no, it won't shrivel up.Best wishes for a great time of R&R!
We'll see. I enjoy writing, so I'll be blogging, but I an looking to try and avoid most technology for a few weeks and just work outside.

July, slight slip. I will be at SQL Sat Louisville on Jun 21.
In the UK that week, so not really back FT at the site until Jul 21

Good luck Steve. I really hope you get out of it something worthwhile whether or not it was what you intended.PS Are you just a secret soccer fan and just watching the World Cup? (That's football to the rest of us!!!)
Football starts in August

Be sure to spend at least one day doing nothing but fishing!
LOL, it only takes me 2 min to pick out a tuna steak at Safeway.

Quite possibly.
I think it's a bit of concern as this has been my responsibility for a decade. To be fair, I also have struggled with being away from my wife and kids for any length of time. I think I'm just a "routine" person that craves familiarity
