Reason #20

While discussing an upcoming project,  you threw out the comment, "I don't like to give you things last minute."

Yet two other people in the office have told me that you were looking for me the other day at 5:45, asking them if I had gone home already because I hadn't answered the email you sent me, asking me to do something.  When they told you yes, I had gone home, you were surprised.  Even though the assistants leave at 5:30.  Are they sometimes in the office after 5:30? Yes, on occasion, if a project calls for it, but in general we walk out at 5:30.

So explain to me how a 5:45 project isn't giving me things at the last minute?

And is it "last minute" if you email me less than 5 minutes before you go on a conference call to say you need a stack of documents printed before you go on the call?  Because that seems kind of last minute, too.
