Hi everyone,
I wanted to throw this question out for wider rumination, as it's something that came up for me recently. I know a lot of us act as database managers for a variety of reasons, and may be the only person with a semblance of 'back end/technical' skill at the organization. But we're also humans and can get sick, or (gasp!) go on vacation. So, who covers YOU? I found myself writing a very lengthy out-of-office message, linking to all kinds of documentation and websites, hoping that nothing blew up while I was out of reach of my computer while away for a few days. Luckily all was well, but it got me thinking - how many of us are in the same boat, and how do we deal with stepping away for a few days/week or two?
My out of office usually includes a link to the Tessitura support page and I sometimes include my cell for system down emergencies, depending on if I would actually be able to help wherever I'm going to be.
That is a great suggestion! I'm about to go on vacation and was wondering what more I could do to prepare everyone! Thanks for this!
