Humorous way of saying, "My request is
totally non-urgent; I'm just asking if you could
please perform this
action when it's convenient for you."
Just
like the independent/cautious-minded Angus MacGyver (in one of his
TV episodes, he grimly remarked, "When someone assuredly tells me not to worry, THAT'
S when I START WORRYING!"), anytime someone begins an assistance-request with, "Sometime in the next millennium...", I get nervous, since in all probability it's gonna be an exceptionally difficult/arduous/boring task that they're asking me about, and/or the undertaking
may actually be a lot more urgent than
even the requester realizes.
