Nothing quite like the existential dread of sitting through a standup meeting where your manager is cracking jokes while you're internally calculating how many backup jobs you forgot to verify before running that UPDATE without a WHERE clause. 42,700 rows is oddly specific too—not catastrophic enough to make headlines, but definitely enough to ruin your entire week and possibly your performance review.

The forced laughter while your soul leaves your body is a survival skill they don't teach in bootcamp. You're just standing there hoping nobody checks the logs before you can quietly restore from yesterday's backup at 2 AM. Pro tip: always wrap your destructive queries in a transaction. And maybe start looking at those backup procedures you've been putting off.
