It’s Going to be a Busy Week
This week is going to be an incredibly busy one. On Saturday I’m very honored to be presenting twice at SQL Saturday Nashville.
Fundamentals of SQL Server Internals: Want to know what makes SQL Server tick? Ever wonder what SQL Server is doing when you run a query? Ever wonder which parts of SQL Server are responsible for specific functionality? Want to know what a HOBT is? I can’t promise answers to every question, but I can set you on the path to knowledge about the inner workings of SQL Server.
Taking Control of Your Career: Raises, promotions, and job offers don’t happen by accident; you need a plan. Through careful planning you can create and reach impressive goals. But what’s the point of reaching your goals if nobody notices? “If you build it, they will come” doesn’t apply when you’re building your career.
“But Jeremiah,” you say, “you are clearly a slacker. Getting ready for two presentations can’t be that difficult for someone with as much ego as you!” And you would be correct; getting ready for two presentations isn’t difficult (mainly because I’m amazing). This week I am also travelling to beautiful Nashville for the PASS Board of Directors meeting.
The BoD meetings are always a good time, but they can be a little tiring (as do most meetings). This meeting promises to be a good one. As best as I recall, we’re going to be talking about PASS at a much higher, strategic, level. There will be less “down in the details” discussion and more “head in the clouds” type of talk. It’s good to put aside worrying about nitty gritty details and focus on the future of an organization. Too often we don’t do that.
