By Tamera, on August 1st, 2012 No way, Right?!
Yes I finally did it, I finally pushed the button and then I got accepted. I know it’s only about time I mean I did spend a fair chunk of last year training what seemed like my entire company on how to create SSRS reports.
This all happened really fast, I did a late submission and then was promptly thrown into a huge project at work. That wouldn’t have been so bad but they were wanting 300 hours of work in like 2 weeks. So I have been really busy at work and putting in additional hours. After those hours I am spending a fair chunk . . . → Read More: I’m presenting @ #SQLSAT159 in Kansas City

By Tamera, on May 8th, 2012 This month Chris Shaw (blog|twitter) brings to us a deep topic for T-SQL Tuesday. He’s asking us to talk about DBA Ethics, you don’t have to be a DBA just a SQL Professional. Thanks Chris for hosting and getting us thinking.
So here we are at another fine T-SQL Tuesday. When Kerry mentioned that he was going to get busy and write last night I asked him what the topic was and he said “DBA Ethics”. From there my mind went crazy thinking about Ethics, how many times I have had mine challenged and what all of this would mean. He stayed up late and worked on his blog post . . . → Read More: A DBA’s Ethics T-SQL Tuesday #30
By Tamera, on March 13th, 2012 Argenis Fernandez was ever so kind as to host TSQL2sDay this month and the question he asked was:
Are you specialized? On something? Or anything at all? Has that been a good or a bad thing? Why? Are you the SQL guy at work? Or the one who does everything? Do you code? And configure wireless routers at work also? If you had to pick one thing to specialize on, what would it be?
So, in this installment of T-SQL Tuesday I’d like to ask you to blog about your experience. Tell us why you specialized, or why you’d like to specialize. If you don’t think that specialization . . . → Read More: TSQL2sDay – Jack of All Trades…
By Tamera, on February 7th, 2012 I have been wanting to make Lobster Macaroni and Cheese for a long time, I would reckon it goes all the way back to the day I discovered that Carrabba’s was no longer offering it. I searched for recipes and this is the first one that stuck in my head. Don’t worry I have another one to try. I started with Ina Garten’s recipe and worked from there, you know adapting it and making it my own. We were joking that this was the most expensive experiment we’ve ever done, however now it was totally worth it.

By Tamera, on January 31st, 2012 Well to start out the 2011 year I made a list of personal and professional goals. I think that over all I am pleased with my results and I am really looking forward to the 3 yes THREE category of goals that I will be setting for 2012.
So let’s review the personal list:
Keep up with holidays/gifts and etc. Stick to the budget and the plan.
I am not so certain how we faired on this one. I tried to only do what we said but then again I don’t keep the finances KLT does. It was a bit difficult keeping this in check since my dad moved . . . → Read More: Bye 2011, a recap of the 11 goals
By Tamera, on January 28th, 2012 Week 3 – The question is what tools are you going to use to help you acheive your goals.
Measuring Tools
A couple years ago I spent a few weeks measuring out exactly what a serving was and I have to tell you this did two things. First the obvious, dirty a lot of dishes. But I have to tell you it was totally worth it. Second it put into perspective just how much we over eat without even trying. Here are a couple examples.
The left is an actual 1 oz serving of chips for 150 calories the right is 1.8 oz which looks more like what . . . → Read More: Get Hawt – Week 3 Tools
By Tamera, on January 28th, 2012 This is my first Get Hawt post and it’s not because I didn’t have good intentions, it is because I just can’t seem to find the time to write anymore. I will however fix that!
Ok, first of all I need to introduce to you Get Hawt. Two awesome gals (of course friends of mine on the internet) have teamed up to host blog parties. A place for folks to get together and make public their 2012 fitness/health goals and update regularly on their progress. I am excited to join this group and hope that having a bit of morale support along the way will help. Jen McCown (twitter|blog) and . . . → Read More: GET HAWT! My delayed start.
By Tamera, on November 14th, 2011 I have been to conferences in the past, so I didn’t quite feel like a “first timer”. PASS held several things for first timers and I opted not to go to them, I did hear from my co-workers that they enjoyed the activities. I thought I had prepared for everything on this trip but I was wrong. I really had no idea that I would get to hang out with the cool kids and that by doing so I would have to learn to live on a few hours of sleep. I didn’t know that I would need more than a cure for my hang-over. I wasn’t prepared for the . . . → Read More: Post #SQLPASS
By Tamera, on November 8th, 2011 I have deteremined that my stress level the last 1.5 months has been pretty high and I am sure it revolves around #SQLPASS. Here let me explain.
First there is my company that made me dance around like a puppet and sit on pins and needles while waiting to find out if I was going to get to attend this year. You see last year the “boys” went and I didn’t get to. One of them, who happens to be my boss’s boss would come by and rub it in that he was going and that I wasn’t then I got the drop by stories from PASS for months after. . . . → Read More: Leading up to #SQLPASS
