chipper Well, they say something about let-downs... don't let them keep you down.
The Oracle Training consisted of teaching me how to open the front-end to do my entry, and that was all.
At least I can say I've used Oracle, maybe that'll get me a bit of respect on my resume.
Friday: Got out of work a few minutes early, met up with a friend of mine in the area, met him and his girlfriend, went out for Frites (Belgian Fries) then for coffee, and then we were going to go to a movie but the show was sold out, so we just ate dinner at Johnny Rockets and had burgers. After that, they offered to have me over for a board game, so I learned how to play Ticket To Ride, but not before stopped by Trader Joes and picking up Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seeds. *yum* :9 I'd never had them before.
Friday Rocked.
Saturday: Chilled out at home, did laundry, played far too much Gunz Online, roleplayed on Tapestries MUCK for a few hours ;)
Sunday: Woke up, Roleplayed for a while, got dragged out for breakfast... wandered around U-District and after that, we went on the hunt for a copy of Lineage II, which I decided I wanted to try very recently. It's like a more 3D version of Ragnarok in my opinion, but whatever. I'll play until the free month is up I suppose and see what I think at the end of that. :) I also had Jamba Juice and a friend of mine loaned me his old Laptop. My roommate showed me N! N stands for Ninja!

Yah-hoo! *hurls shurikens *
Monday: I'm at work.. woke up a little later than normal, stumbled to the bus.. stomach is a little upset, but one of my favorite people is online and being a sweetheart to me and making me smile as usual while I'm at work. <3 Otta
Oracle isn't properly configured, we lost access to our order logging system and the monkeys are hurling corporate execs out the top floor window... so, with exception to the last thing there being a totally random lie, things are not quite operational yet and we've changed over the system.
LET THE CHAOS REIGN! ... or something silly like that. <3

And then they ask you, "So how would you go about writing a query to get all of the usernames from 'accounts' created in the last week along with their account types from the 'acct_types' table?"
And if your answer isn't something like:
SELECT a.username, at.name AS account_type FROM accounts a, acct_types at WHERE at.acct_type_id = a.acct_type_id AND a.create_date > sysdate - 7;
Well... They may not understand what you meant by "Oracle experience". And, I sure as heck don't mean to sound belittling, I'm just saying that in most circles Oracle means (at the very least) a proficiency in SQL. And I'd be happy to teach you basic SQL and/or point you towards some good books and online resources. It's really cool and a good thing to know, plus since it's a Query Language and not a Programming Language, it's not nearly as daunting or complex. I can even setup a database for you on FurCen.Org to play around with if you wanna (though it's MySQL, not Oracle, but the differences are trivial).

Wish that could be me...
