You Must Submit a Ticket

Me: Now that you have our requirements, can you connect our development box to the enterprise widget?

Drone: You must submit a RemeDrone ticket.

Me: Gee, RemeDrone is pretty picky. What are the key things the ticket needs to contain for this kind of request?

Drone: The key highlights of your requirements.

Me: Aren't there specific fields which must be populated?

Drone: Yes.

Me: Which ones?

Drone: The fields which summarize your requirements.

Me: Couldn't this have already be done by now?

Drone: You must submit a ticket.

Me: Let's take a different approach. Is there a template you can point me to for this kind of ticket?

Drone: I don't know if we have one. I'll see if I can find someone who has a template.

Me: We've been having this exchange for 3 days now. Wouldn't it have been more efficient to just connect us to the widget?

Drone: You must submit a ticket.

You Must Specify Your Requirements

Developer: Please create an empty database schema for us on system A.

Drone: What ratio of data to log space do you want?

Developer: Your standard default values are fine.

Drone: We don't have any standards or defaults for that.

Developer: OK. What do you recommend?

Drone: We don't have recommendations. You need to specify your requirements.

Developer: Aren't you a database administrator? Shouldn't you be able to recommend some basic guidelines here?

Drone: I am a DBA, but you need to specify your requirements.

Developer: Um...OK. Let's go with 100 GB data and 20 GB for logs.

Drone: You don't have that much space available.

Developer: We have 120 GB allocated for our database.

Drone: Yes, but you can't use all of it.

Developer: OK. How much can we use?

Drone: You must specify your requirements.
