As my posting level here shows, I don't do much work at any time of the year.

But I stopped billing ten days ago, and have another two weeks before I go back to work.

Time to catch up on some

Not really my thing but I would have thought the transition should be fairly smooth for you.

I guess so. Have done nothing but Oracle related work for the last 9 years or so.
