In my experience, do as the others have said. Present your side with as many facts as possible while being as diplomatic as possible without pushing too hard. But at the end of the day, do as your boss says and/or do both so that if the problem you're foreseeing shows up, you can have the fix ready to go. Be sure not do the 'I told you so' bit. If you cram your way down his throat, you will more than likely foster resentment. Do your best to make your boss look good and what you'll find is that in the future he'll trust you more and you'll have a better working relationship. That's if he's a good boss. (My definition of a good boss is someone who shares the credit of success and shoulders the blame by himself while addressing the shortcomings discretely) If he's a bad boss, well, that's up to you.

If you are discussing your area of expertise and you were hired for it, then you give your opinion with the pros and cons of doing it or not.
Remember, you do not get the final say. You just offer your expertise on the matters. It's your boss's neck on the line with the executives running the company.
Most techs have to learn how to talk to their managers. They don't respond to the same things we do. You have to spell things out in hours of downtime, productivity increases, costs, and resources. Otherwise, their eyes glaze over..

An interesting task would be to list down all nebulas and celestial objects named after places on Earth, like this.

I'm doing dry life. Does that count?

I'm trying dry wit.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
|
|
|
|

I've found that the responses to my dry wit often leave me feeling deserted.

Only if not combined with (read: due to) fervent beliefs and a full schedule each Sunday.

To ensure the success of the project I ordered 2 cases of dry Vermouth...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I've had some nice Chianti for the past two days. At the moment I live alone and when I open a bottle, that means one glass a day, so I can finish it, before it turns bad. So yeah in five to six days it will be gone. Chianti week if you will.
But other than the occasional week of wine, I don't really drink that much.
EDIT: On second thought, that last sentence sounds rather bad without context

You have small glasses there, we manage 3-4 glasses maximum from one bottle. 
|
|
|
|
|
Well the dose is just right for the moment, perhaps in years to come, I will buy bigger glasses
|
|
|
|
|
My suggestion, get the bigger glasses now, you can always half fill them, or at least try to. :wine:

I've not pissed meself yet this year.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Not even when Hartlepool were 1-0 up?

I'm well used to seeing us lose in early rounds of the cups to lower league teams, just look at the League Cup this year.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

That's got to be a new record for you. 
The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill
America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde
Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

Does extra dry gin count?
Life is too shor
|
|
|
|
|
Not, if you can count the glasses you had...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
|
|
|
|
|
That's as dry as I can accept it.
If you want a Vilmos Extra Dry Martini, mix three parts gin with two parts gin in a glass and think briefly of France.

Congratulations! I assume that is some sort of National Record?

Sadly not, after three days sober*, you lose your citizenship and have to re-apply by drinking a bottle of Bells and punching a passing Englishman.
* or 'in hell' as the Scots call it.
