May Be Time to Sack Debra

Debra has looked after me well, but it may be time to sack her.

When she is attending an event or conference and has the time to look after me I have a great time and lots of photos are taken, and the fun we get up to!

But when she is busy, I get dragged along, stay inside my bag and don't enjoy myself as much as is possible. So from now on Debra needs to give me up for UKOUG and probably OOW as well.

This year at Oracle Open World I did have my chair, which was then shipped to UKOUG but not even used. I slept in the same hotel as Obama and she never even wrote about it!


At UKOUG, things looked up, Debra mentioned me in her main blog, I went to a great ACE dinner and I got to meet Tom Kyte, but none of it got into my blog.

I was so upset for myself, but mainly for my fans who hang on my every word, so next time Debra is 'busy' I will make sure one of my other friends, Dan Norris or Dan Morgan look after me, make sure I have a good time and write about it!

"I can't believe Stanley is Here"

I have said before Stanley is welcome wherever 2 or more Oracle users come together, so obviously I will be at UKOUG this coming week, more than 2000 excited people in the ICC at Birmingham.

Debra and I arrived today and we are in our hotel getting ready. Debra has many meetings tomorrow before the ACE Dinner which I always look forward to. Last year however I needed a bath after my trip to Finland and Denmark, so although Mogens bought me I was unable to get out of my bag.


But this post is about last night. Debra stayed with her sister in Gloucester and this morning when packing, her brother in law Chris realised that Stanley was in his house. He was so in awe and shouted out"I can't believe Stanley is Here". This is a special fan, Chris is a Finance Manager in a large government department and more importantly an Oracle EBS user.

Chris will be so 'stoked' to appear on my blog, but to be fair I was more interested in their dog, Tilly. I like animals they are more like me.
