Reason #17

When IT came to switch out my old computer for a new one, I told you I would be unavailable for about an hour; I wouldn't have access to email so if you needed me, you'd have to call me.  It was over an hour later and you called me, asking if my computer was up yet. I replied, "No, we're still working on it."  Did you get that, I said NO. 

So what did you do?  You emailed me a short while later, saying you needed something ASAP.  You didn't call me (as I had instructed you to do) because you were on a conference call, but how exactly did you expect me to receive your email when I told you I didn't have access to email?  Osmosis?  If you couldn't call me, you should have emailed the front desk and asked them to do your project or you could have asked them to call me.  But no. You emailed me.  When you knew I couldn't access email.

And this isn't even the first time you've done this, emailing me "ASAP" projects when I said I would be unavailable.  I'm flattered you think I can read email with my mind but I do not in fact have that superpower.
