So which is it?

For any job, you can include in your resume, without a hint of lying, that you are Time magazine person of the year 2006. Seriously.

Has anyone ever heard of a database called 4D?

Working from home, the management perspective...

Waking up in the middle of the night with either a profound solution to a problem, or a profound problem.

I try to autocomplete with tab on everything!

It has happened!

I had the "pleasure" of working with someone who though that it would be a good idea to create random strings and check if they were in a database, to ensure they are unique. What's even better, is that this was being used for batch generation of up to 100 such strings at a time!

Some Project Manager outsourced a redundant RADIUS setup with MySQL backend. We got 2 copies of a daloradius appliance running on Ubuntu 10.04. Once I saw this, I started to get a bit suspicious and requested to audit the system and database redundancy. With the system in production, and without getting back any documentation, I got into the VMs using the default root password. This was not even the worst part, as I found. One server was using a local MySQL instance, while the other was also using the first one's MySQL instance. When I reported this, I was told to comment clearly any changes to the configuration files, which resulted in commenting the word SHAME above each change.
