"But this server has only just been taken out of production. The only thing that's changed is that we've deleted all the files stored on the SAN. The OS hasn't been touched."

"And how long will that take?"
"I don't know. I'm too busy to do it. Have you booked the resources you need?"
"But I don't need them. You're the one saying this has to be done, not me. And why didn't you say this had to be done when I showed you the implementation plan last week?"
"We always do it. I didn't write the plan. If you don't know these things, why should I tell you?"
"But the only people with root access who could have changed anything is you sysadmins!"
"Well, you might have asked us to change a kernel parameter!"
"But you would surely not do anything on a production server without an authorised change control."
"We might have been doing you a favour."
"I didn't ask you to do anything!"
"We don't know that."
