He called at 5:30 last night and left voice mail asking me to call him today about wording he's going to put in a memo he will hand to the client tomorrow.
But he didn't just email me the memo. No, no, that would be too easy. No, he just said he needed to talk to me.
So fine. Any time today will do; I have some stuff to do for an east-coast person that may need to be mailed, hence would have to be done early today. Therefore, I start on it. Then I get sidelined into that conference call. An hour and fifteen minutes later, I get out of the conference call to find he has left me another message with the same data, sounding for all the world as if he thought his first message had gone into the ether.
Argh. Look, give me more than 24 hours warning if you urgently need my time, and if you give a general time-frame ("tomorrow") with no limitations, don't be surprised if I don't call you the first minute in that time frame. Yeesh!
Also, another project manager is apparently still trying to push through an impossible (well, okay, VERY difficult and time-consuming, of a sufficient scope to derail all other projects) change for her client, a change that was not in the spec or contract or anything. (Well, it was in their request list....) Gah. Feh.
