Three days.
I'll give you that, as he couldn't know any different.
Never said it was. Double-check what I said. I don't check notifications at work. 99% of the time, they aren't for PMs, so I let them keep til I get home. Tuesday was a fluke. I went into my inbox to look up something in an old message, and his initial one was there. Otherwise I wouldn't have seen it until Friday evening. Nor did I delete anything -- first thing I saw when I got back on at home was @
Apollo's message to me about this thread. Below that was @Cry-Lo's "game over" message. I replied to those and came here.
Then I cleared the rest of my notifications and saw the other single "checking-in" message from the 18th.
Overall, though, he didn't communicate his expectations, and I didn't communicate my difficulties.
