I get all sorts of requests due to the nature of my job, (database jack-of-all-trades). I've actually spent time at work this weekend to finish some processing so some reports can go out Monday. :Whistling:

I think one should examine the nature of the request and the priorities of the job. I had a lot of problems at one time with coworkers and clients sitting on data and projects till the last minute, then dumping it on my group on Friday afternoon. (Hey, I gave them the requirements last week... :angry:)This isn't good business or necessary fair to all the parties involved. I believe that you need to set up internal processes and make clear the expectations of all parties. Otherwise you end up with a lot of finger pointing and abuse.
