It's 10 minutes before a meeting with your manager. You're supposed to be presenting the budget variances from last quarter. Except, you haven't started with the presentation and you need numbers from Finance. All too familiar.

There are two ways to go about it, you think. You could walk up to Renee two floors down and ask her for the reports. Or you could write an email to her to check if she could send it across in the next minute or so.
