But either way...Jeez, that means you're older than I thought you were. 🙁
Not quite sure how to take that. I'm 34 in a week and a day's time. 1994 was my final year of school.

It was meant in a good way... I knew you had just finished up your masters... I just figured you were in your late 20's, not mid 30's.

That's the problem with all of these online relationships... you only can know what you've been told, not what you can physically see/hear, etc.

If you can't explain to another person how the code that you're copying from the internet works, then DON'T USE IT on a production system! After all, you will be the one supporting it!

Well, 92 was my final year and Wayne is older than me. I would say it was probably meant in a good way.

Well, since we're all "coming clean", I graduated high school in '78... Just turned 50 this year... 🙁

More like 'finishing' 🙂

I started working after doing my Hons degree (B.Sc Honours, 1 year post grad degree between B.Sc and M.Sc), was a few years later that I decided to start M.Sc part time.

Gotcha. Never knew about the time lapse between them.

Well, you've at least got the years for this job, ol' timer. Step up and offer your price! 😉

And I'm 35 on New Year's Eve. I always forget I ripped through school a year or two quickly... then never finished college. 😀

Never stop learning, even if it hurts. Ego bruises are practically mandatory as you learn unless you've never risked enough to make a mistake.

Now, I didn't say I had that much experience with SQL Server! I started working with that in '98 (6.5) - but I think I've learned more in the last 3 years here on SSC than what I had before!

Looks like my avatar fits me best as the youngest here at 29 :hehe:.

So looks like I should have started working with SQL SERVER at the ripe age of 13 to be eligible for this job... only off by 8-9 years :hehe:.
