Yeah, some days it just doesn’t pay to even try to do a good job.  Not only are my sinuses really giving me a raging headache today, but these are the ridiculous things I’ve been engaged in on top of it.

I had to tshoot an ssis pkg because it stopped working when I moved it to the dev box.  As it turns out the moron who wrote it put the values in the config file like I told him to, but he only put part of them in there.  The rest are still hardcoded in the pkg so of course it was failing.

I’m installing SQL R2 ent. on a VM with 1GB of RAM.

I turned AutoShrink back on for a DB because the business owner is scared to death it’ll blow something up if I don’t and they wanted to check with the vendor to make sure I wasn’t going to kill the DB.  Shoot me now.

I BCPd a couple large tables out to a different server and zipped them up.  I had to do this because the server is running out of space and the server team says they can’t get any more right now.  So in order to keep the DB running I’ve had to take a couple tables out of the DB so there’s room for normal ops.  This won’t end well.

Heard back from the support guy about the AutoShrink issue above.  He’s not sure but he’s pretty sure that a major change like that will void our support contract.  Really?  On the day my head is pounding so hard?  Consider yourself lucky this time.

Going to lunch soon.
