Saskatchewan and Skytrain

My geography is very bad, and I never heard the province of Saskatchewan. When someone said he came from Saskatchewan.


I began to think, oh, he came here by skytrain.

Friends share secrets

I always feel lonely and complaint about no friends. I feel very difficult to make friends in these years, and I blame the fact that most new people I met are married and have kids. But I feel it is not true today.

One of my co-worker talked with us his personal issues which bothers him recently. I feel weird at the beginning, because I probably only talk this kind of issues with very close friends, and definitely not in the office. Actually most of the co-workers gave him some advices, people joked about his issue but only for the purpose of making him relaxed.

So I began to think, probably it is me who pushes potential friends away. I tried to be nice and professional in the office, always answering the "How are you doing?" question with "Good". After thought about this, I began to chat with a good friend in China, and I told her a big secret of me. The feeling is so good, and I get some emotional support from her, plus I do feel I get closer with her.

DBA?

Data comes from http://www.indeed.com/salary

I do not really understand what is the differece between DBA and DB developer, it sounds like the DB developer develops the Database, defines tables, writing SPs,functions, triggers;and DBA runs/maintains them. But why DBA earns more than DB developer?

I should be a DBA. Sql is my most favorite language, and it is far from UI so no picky customers at some points. Plus it probably is a good career choice for elder guys/girls, LOL. I actually thought to be a DBA when I was 24, and my friend said no, nobody wants to hire a young DBA. But it seems to be the time now:)
