Lesson #3: the oft-uttered word "Urgent"
when them workplace weasels bombard your inbox with emails marked ! and expect you to attend to their requests immediately, don't. what is deemed urgent is usually not. it's their utterly poor sense of timing - and sitting on their own work for ages - that explains the bollocks.
so, instead of going blue in the face, reply them that our work is equally urgent. and that it would be marvellous if they could help us complete our work.
but of course, if said weasel happened to be yer gaffer, you can't possibly tell them exactly, can you?
