Really don't know what to say, here is a chance to learn Oracle Database with AIX Unix, but i'm gonna give it all up cause i don't have the time to learn. Everyday, i have barely half an hour to sit down and look through all the scripts that they have.
I don't know shell scripting. I don't know what the hell each syntax means. I don't have the time to do self studying in it cause i gotta do school assignments. I don't have the time cause helpdesks just either keep popping up, or calling in, or beckoning to.
I'd rather score well in my degree then screw it all up in something that i'm not exactly interested in. I've seen what my colleague has to do. Sitting there all day, staring at the PC, shit, that ain't for me. I can't just sit at one place and stare and stare. That sucks. I need some movement. I know myself, i'd sleep within half and hour. Staring at scripts, will make me go green like the Hulk.
Don't like how DA does human resource management. Wants everybody to know everything, but with all the crap thats been dropping down on me, how am i gonna learn? 50% DB, 50%helpdesk... even AZ told me that it ain't possible cause its a very specialized field, truly impossible to learn. SiFu told me its impossible to even do that, as for EG, his been in this line for almost 9 months and his been taught only 25%.
Its so unrealistic. If he wants me to do DB, then set me to do it full scale so i can learn and practice. I didn't even have time to contribute to DMS, how would he expect me to do DB too? I'm pissed. Even SiFu knows that there isn't any progress going on with me. So, what i'm gonna do is tell DA that i don't wanna do it. I don't wanna take over the database for DMS. I don't wanna do something that i don't enjoy. I don't wanna spend the rest of my life staring at a screen.
I wanna do something that helps me to use my hands. I want to do something that involves systems. I wanna do something like what AZ, Tim, LK, and KC are doing. I wanna be a SA, not a DBA. Even though DBA's get more, what's the point if i don't enjoy what i do? I'm already good at setting up, and solving other people's problems, and i want to extend that skill to the server end.
So, i have to do what i have to do, and pray that its the right decision for my life. Oh yeah, by the way, finally the group picture for the Kelisa Club is out... =)
