Today, I wrote SQL queries all day.I had help when I needed it, good tools to work with and well organized reference material.It was a joy. 
I learned a great deal and got some things to work.

SQL is actually pretty neat on its own terms. It's not a "think like the computer" thing. It's more of a "think about your information, which you care about" thing. Unless you don't care about the information, in which case it's dull of course.
It fascinates me.
I have this massive, priceless data set that's just sitting there, waiting for me to mine the living daylights out of it.
Just scratching the surface so far and I am amazed.
I also have Splunk, which is extremely helpful as well, and another fun thing to learn.
