A mentor of mine in Bokeh passed away many years ago when I first started. He taught me this expression. Tried to use it unsuccessfully with my children, but it's a great expression, which is your poor planning is not my emergency. Right? The night before the paper's due at 1:00 a.m., could you go over my paper? Could you help me? Could you spell it out? Could you review it? Could you redline it? Gar says, "Your poor planning is not my emergency. You have your initiative. You have what you're meant to do. You have what you need to take care of. You can't sit back, recline on the couch, and think I'm going to swoop in and take care of it for you.
