new business practice

[margaretc.livejournal.com]

I need to start billing my web developer for asking me dumb questions.

him: developer
me: well...

him: is there a list of the server names on the wiki anywhere?
me: what do you need to know?
me: you can look at $monitoring
me: or I might be able to tell you
him: oh, I found it on other-wiki
me: that's news, do you want me to check it and see if it's complete?
(long pause)
him: no worries, I just forgot the name of the db server.
me: $dbserver
him: right.
me: (headdesk)

20 minutes later:

him: I can't get in to $dbserver.
me: from where? and what error are you getting?
(pause)
him: from $webdev
him: $error
(I try it from there, works fine)
me: works for me, are you in your office?
(another pause)
him: oh, nevermind, it works now.
