Are we there yet?

Minion is tasked with decommissioning a server. I tell them to check with various people that they understand the server will be destructively wiped as part of this. Minion asks those people if it's okay. Reply back is that confirmation will be forthcoming soon.

Minion then asks me if we can proceed.

I would have thought that was pretty obvious.

Sometimes for (perceived) big issues, it's great to give someone else the responsibility to someone else ;-)

Did you guys make backups of the server first?

Thankfully they were asking before trashing the server. (And backups are retained a long time..)

And we're not journalspace.com!
