[dba-SQLServer] Syncing Virtual Machines

Apparently you didn't get the memo... to "get back to SQL Server stuff"?

I have a single part timer working as a consultant to me.  I pay him 1/3 of my billing for his hours 
and I bill his hours through.  So I am with you on that.  Unfortunately as I give him raises I will 
not be able to just raise my rates to keep that ratio.  But for the moment I am doing all right on 
that part.
