It's always a relief when someone asks to schedule something a month in advance, because that means I won't have to do it. There's no way I'm remembering our engagement a MONTH FROM NOW!? That's like five years away.
Today is that magical day where "appointment" day and today line up! Unfortunately it is time gated to this evening. Hopefully I remember to make my call tonight. Wish me luck!
you know, that was a really relaxing time. why do i need to give you numbers about a project six months into the future that won't hold up the second we finish? it'll be six, maybe five, possibly seven months. that should be enough, right?
Everyone knows you have a hard deadline and work backwards to today. It is immaterial whether that is enough time for the work or to line up appropriate resources. Duh.
