Do the Job Manually

“I can’t threaten your data processing manager for you.”

“Sure you can. Tell him if he doesn’t give me the sales reports, you’ll come back and run them for him on his computer. That’ll light a fire under him.”

“Can’t you just wait a bit? How late are these reports?”

“Six months.”

“How can your reports possibly be six months late! They’re automated. The computer spits them out manually.”
