"Swingman" wisely observed

I've had bosses like that, and learned early on to ask something
like, "It this what you mean?". Sometimes it takes 3-4 times before it
becomes clear what they want. Even then, sometimes they'll still come
back later and give you the old, "I know that's what I said, but that's
not what I meant".

IME, you had better ask ALL women, as well as most clients/bosses.

Doncha ya know Swingman, that the wimmenfolk expect all us guyz to be
PSYCHIC!!

And if we are not, it is just another failing on our part.
