Who Knew?

So my project manager has been talking about this big distribution project for next week for which I must create a special mail-merge spreadsheet. She used a variety of seven different names to refer to the data (the legacy application name, the product line name, the new application name, the old name, the new name, the company name, the tool name). So today in a big phone meeting it finally becomes clear that there is not one but TWO sets of data - separate and distinct - both of which I receive by COB on Monday, and both of which must be complete by COB on Wednesday (not Friday). Twice the work in half the time!

To paraphrase an old printers' motto: Incompetence on your part does not create an emergency on mine. . .

Hard to find a suitable way to put this to one's boss, I expect.
