What a Pain in the Azz

I wish we had a rule of 'no MCSA - no database'...
Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
If the job requires a lot of advanced DB knowledge, I agree. This job does not. In point of fact, they're using SQL 2008R2 (and were just upgraded to that in April 2014). The 2008 tests are no longer available, and the 2012 tests are on deck for elimination, so even if I get MCSA, 60% of it is useless (in terms of database features).

No that much but I done DBA training so almost every bit of the DB goes via my hands...And I also have to code an manage...But I have no MCSA!

AN-6 (3/8-inch ID), which should be more than large enough. It went lean and stopped making power at 5600 RPM. Tells me that we might be starving the float bowls. Gotta put it back on the dyno to see... In the interest of completeness, we converted the OEM dead-head fuel system into a return-type fuel system (also using AN-6 line). We also used a fuel pressure regulator to nect the pressure down from 55psi to 6.5. We could probably increase the pressure a little (to 7psi), but the higher we set it, the more likely it is that at lower speeds, we'll be overpowering the needle/seat in the float bowl and pushing fuel out of the overflow tubes on the carb (most carbs can't handle much more than 7psi).

Caution to the overly sensitive - contains copious amounts of rude f*uckin language... I honestly despise working for a defence contractor. I've been at my current job for about 6 months, and have been writing code and sql stored procs like a madman. As of Friday, there was an issue with me having access to the database because I don't have a MCSA. After some gnashing of teeth and some high-level meetings between the command staff and the Colonel in charge of my department, I now have partial access back - I can log onto the server, and I can see the databases on it, and I can even add/remove data from the tables, but I don't have VIEW or EXECUTE privileges on any of the programability components - even the ones I wrote. What a royal mother f*uckin pain in the f*uckin ass. I'm seriously considering quitting because of it. As a result - I've sitting here whackin my c*ock for three f*uckin hours waiting for someone to read their f*uckin email.

I started work for a British aircraft company that will remain nameless but we were working on development of the MRCA (now known as the Tornado jet fighter). In took six months to get clearance and as a result, after about 4 months there, I had written a report (program documentation really but they called everything a report) on some stuff it was taken away and put in the "secure library". A couple of weeks later I had made some adjustments to some calculations and wanted to update it... "Sorry, you are not authorised to see this report." "But, I wrote it!" "Sorry, you don't have the right clearance, go away." "I had a choice of two actions. 1. Get my boss to check out the report, let me update it and he would check it back in - this would probably have got us both fired and or arrested under the Official Secrets Act - or 2. wait a couple of months for my clearance to come through. I did the latter... but what a load of cobblers!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Based solely on the information provided in your original post... I would quit. The older I get, the less tolerant I am of childish games. So far the company I work for now, doesn't play that many games.

One that beats that, I was told this but don't doubt it's truth. A company that shall remain nameless were working on Radar returns of various materials, the final tests had to be done on the vehicle they were for so they ask for a test vehicle to be delivered to their test site. Now the ridiculous part some one I know happened to mention the vehicle a Harrier jet outside of the secure area a got a royal roasting for it. The odd part is how the Harrier was delivered slung under a Chinook flown at low(ish) level parallel to a local motorway at 8:00am it was supremely obvious to anyone that tests were going on with a Harrier (the shop was a radar specialist works! :) ) as a Marx brother said 'Military Intelligence, now there is a contradiction in terms'

Are you ex-military, I ask as one who has done work similar the ex-Army I worked with were either supremely calm if they were NCO or lower officers, hyper like you are if they were a Captain or higher. That was how you tell them apart (Staff Sergent I knew blew like a volcano akin to you here).
I was enlisted. I just want to get the job done. I took a personality test at a previous hjob, and it determined I'm an "implementer" (don't bother me with minutia - tell me what you need and let me do it).

how's the Mustang!
It's putting out 439rwhp/454rwtq. It stops making power and goes lean at 5600 rpm. I think it might be that we're exceeding the capability of the OEM fuel pump. I posted a pic of the car recently on a car forum with the caption, "Chuck Norris? Never heard of her..." :)

No steep hills in your area? (Knowing San Antonio is rather flat.)

On the other elephant, JSOP's been churning through a lot of short term jobs recently, too many sub-year positions on your resume is problematic.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.
