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.
