So, I need to get a database moved from a server soon to be retired to a server that is supported by the database team... and I'm directed to a checklist page that needs to be sent to the integration team...
I feel like I have an old wringer washer where the ringers have been replaced with metal spike and my arm is being pulled through it...

Your problem is that you have a database team.
No database team, no problem. Look for DB's that don't need DBA's.

One of my favourite movies ever. Was fun when I was a child and is still fun today 
Here's the scene in English[^]
Of course I used to watch it in Dutch.
Another very good one is Asterix And Cleopatra.
Especially liked the bath/lion scene[^]

Nice! The videos brought back fond memories - thanks.

I've read the books in English, Italian, and Dutch, and they're just as funny in each language -- superb translation.
I never took to the movies, though, neither cartoon nor real-life -- probably because the books were too much to live up to.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

You have of course, CC'ed the Change Approval Board members on this request, right?
On a sad side note, that whole idea - a "Change Approval Board" (with multiple members) - is not something I came up with off-the-cuff. My company actually has one. And every production change gets routed through them. Even a CSS color change.

There are contexts where this is appropriate.
A "sibling" company (same parent company) of ours makes medical laboratory clinical analyzers.
I want every change to something on which my (or my family member's) life may depend to be carefully considered before it is implemented/deployed!!!
Even CSS changes could cause something to be misinterpreted because the screen doesn't look the same as it used to...
A positive attitude may not solve every problem, but it will annoy enough people to be worth the effort.

Agreed for medical device software. I'd even agree with, say, military software.
But I work for a marketing company.

Stop your bitching, a couple of our guys had to go on a 1 day course on how to raise a requisition, they just completed their first one, it took 3 weeks, was reject 3 times before they got all the i and t correct!
I just completed a workflow application to get sign off for a new product, it redused the turn around from 300+ days to a mere 90!

If I don’t recognise a vegetarian girl, does that mean I never met herbivore?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

My understanding is that they do like having the occasional piece of meat slipped to them, fnarr fnarr.

Yes. Possibly you will vegan a wonderful friendship with her, as well.

Griff never met a herbivore? You've wined, dined and intertwined with them.

Give her a BACON sandwich!

Where are you getting these from? The back of a 1950's cornflake packet?

Don't be silly, they didn't have herbivores/vegetarians back then! 
... and vegans were from the planet Vega and only appeared in SciFi magazines.
Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

If you had she'd have 'ung u later. (There's something to ruminate on)
|
|

No, it means she's dumbly. Because, you know -
How do you know someone is vegetarian?
They will tell you.

I hope I'll meat such a girl one day. We'd never have beef, but if we do I'll just liver and find another

Vegan all agree that when you meat, you still won't know.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I share your mourning.
