The best DBA is a lazy DBA, I say. Automate. Be prepared.

Before becoming more proactive, make sure your employer is not evaluating you on how many fires you put out.

If doing a better job means that you will be negatively evaluated by your employer then find a better job. Catering to mediocrity breeds mediocrity.

Then we are in agreement.

Would be better phrased "try to find a better job."

If this article is of any use to you, you are in the wrong field.
