Stage (1) Waking in the Morning
After a restful night I wake up thinking about my current interest, which is a Data Model for the internet_of_things. When I get to work, I meet with some Subject Matter Experts ('SMEs') to review the final draft of our Subject Area Models and the Top-Level Model. |

Stage (2) Lunch Time
I work through lunch, make some calls and check the emails. Then I meet up with my favourite DBA and realise that I was very happy when I worked as a DBA for about 8 years. Even though nobody ever said "Thanks, Barry for doing such a great job". Then I meet with our Subject Master EXperts (SMEs) to review my latest draft of the Subject Area Models. We achieve agreement and a commitment to sign-off from the SMEs - which is a great outcome. |
| Stage (3) The End of the Day
Take care of any critical Tasks still outstanding. Set-up overnight Jobs :- in line with my Subject Area Models Go home, reflecting on a good day ;-0) |
