I'm getting better at this

So today, about 4-ish, at work, I was told "Hey, the boss wants {change} and {other change} done on the web-site."

I ask "I assume that he also wants {related change} and {other related change}?"

"Yeah, probably."

Me: "Done."

Head of IT: "Already? Damn."

And this is after I fixed a bug that apparently I was the first to notice, last week.

Over the last decade plus I've noticed this a lot at my various jobs. It seems most people are accustomed to requests taking an hour minimum, usually because the person tasked with it needs to finish twittering or some shit before they get 'round to it.

Well, I have also spent the week beating my head against a wall over a sessions and cookies issue that won't resolve itself.

On the plus side, I fixed another problem that no one had noticed and/or reported. (But it was a problem that was only noticeable in IE, so that might be why....)

Oh, this is just the beginning of how much they are going to loooove you.

I predict this with my intuitive skills of knowingness.
