I Didn't Mean To Confuse You

I didn't mean to confuse you. Honestly.

I only sent you an updated copy of the same report you got back in November - and September - and July. It's the same set of information we prepared for you and you were supposed to implement back in August - and October - and December.

Now, though, I see by your startled expression that this is all complex and confusing to you. It is as if you have never seen it before and this is the first time we have dumped this on your desk. This, of course, is how you must present it to our managers, those who have mandated action without caring about the details. Yes, you will report it as an "unexpected change in scope."

No, I didn't mean to confuse you - I only thought that we both knew what we were doing.
