Are you a mySQL DBA that will not take a vacation because your the only person to fix a disaster if one will occur? Do you take a vacation and stay at home with your pager on you? Ask you self when was the last time you went someplace for 9 days without a pager or computer? If work is more important to you then your own personal time, then its time to take a vacation.
I just took a 9 day vacation in Hawaii, 4 days on the Big Island and the rest on Oahu. Man I haven't been this rested in years. I feel like a new man! Prior to my vacation I felt run-down and I was just going through the paces, now I'm rejuvenated-the ocean waves and hot air has given me new ideas on how to design back-end database data layouts, how to scale to new levels at less cost. I feel like I did when I graduated college-ready to take on the world-but better!
Expect many new posts! Because the original Dathan is back better then evar!

Dathan, it's awesome that you feel so well-rested despite jerks calling you in the middle of the night! ;-)
I didn't have a real vacation since... I don't know when. I should probably give that some thoughts, given that my performance only gets worse. Did you take any computer with you (with the intention of working)?
awesome, I just got 4 days off between jobs with no computer or cell, and even that was super sweet.
have a nice time, and will catch you once you back in MySQL conf..
@nils - I almost did but I decided not to. This was my time so I resisted the temptation.
Be glad here,I'm a fresher of Mysql. I believe I can learn a lot here. Thx
Sounds familiar... planning a vacation *now*... :)
