During that time I’ve also traveled a lot other branches helping them resolve their stability and performance issues. There were no easy tasks back then and everything were done under intensive business pressures and tight schedules with systems where one hour of downtime totals millions of dollars and that was one of the most exciting parts in my life. I’ve also gained some SQL Server experience during that time providing support for a couple of internal SQL Server databases used primarily in accounting.
