No, it makes perfect sense. One for each week of the year, and you get 1 or 2 days off at the end of the year.

So what's the dilemma? Which one to finish?

It's always beer o'clock somewhere in the world.

I can take a look. Depends on the type of question, I guess.

I'll admit that I have not played with JSON indexes yet.
I assume they'll work very similar to XML indexes.

Ooh, execution plan pr0n. I like it!
"Nested Loops bares it all!"

If your goal is more views, I can suggest an alternate keyword list that is bound to work great. 😜

In case you get more offers than your friend can take ... I'm also very good with T-SQL optimization and DB development, and open to (more) work. So feel free to send any excess my way.

Of course. Let's be clear. I didn't mean to suggest one should never use the speaker room. It's there for a reason. I also retreat there at times.
The people I meant are those who only leave the speaker room for their session.
And please don't mistake my not understanding for judgement!

I agree. The payment is fine.
I also don't see the problem with the "No flyby" rule, but perhaps that's me. I've never understood speakers who lock themselves in the speaker room all day, or deliver a session and then go sightseeing. There's so much value in other sessions and/or networking!

I can't read the article, it requires a subscription.
But when I look at the graph, I see a spike in food orders at 6PM.
D'oh. That's supper time for many. I'd be more surprised to *not* see a spike in food orders at that time.
