    yesterday, tuesday would be the day, I was just typing out a simple delete query to remove some fake test data i threw in the system. well, i wiped out all the production data on that table in the system because of a typo. aren't i awesome? well, not but 30 minutes later...im searching for a backup and realizing the backup is old my phone rings. it's a job offer for a job i had just interviewed for. what awesome timing. so i go in and tell my boss i lost all the data and dont worry i already found another job. ;) I have all the data off the backup, had to pull a snapshot of the server from Friday. It wasn't a big deal, it just couldn't have been better timing on any of it *im currently an intern so im pretty excited because it's the first job i wanted and interviewed for. :cool:

        In your world that may be true. In my world there are only 2 MS developers and no one else who knows what to do, you need access to Dev and Prod.

        I'm with you there... Two IT guys (catch all developers and system managers) who spec and maintain and control it all. We get hit by a bus and the company is OK until the first daily CSR or Fulfillment screwup.

          It isn't in my world. It is in the world. In the company I was describing there was only a staff of 2 IT before I came in and over one hundred thousand dollars was stolen. In the business world a responsible developer would understand the various consequences and mitigate the risks. That is the difference between being a solid professional and just the IT guy.
