On storage requests
by Jesse on Aug.12, 2009, under General
I got the following storage request today.
“This host <hostname> is ready. It will need storage.”
Dontcha love it? My response was equally brilliant.
“Shall I just make up a number?”
(Somtimes I can be a jerk….)

I’m lucky, my dba is conservative, gives me specific request details…My other engineers are the same way. We have only one guilty party who indulges in behavior like your example…and I never give him storage. I just wait until he forgets what he was asking for…and he always does.

Sure, superstar, I’ll have it for you the second tuesday of next week. Will that be alright?

Per Dilbert, I’ve submitted a CAPEX to hire some goons to beat the details out of you.

I like my storage requests written on envelopes that contain valid giftcards for local restaurants please

Hey Jona – it’s been a long time.
Money talks, BS walks. Apparently cash on the nightstand speaks for itself.
I like that, and I will use it.
