Suppose you've bitched up the Flugermann contract. The boss calls you into her office and says, 'I hope you can get this fixed.' Would you take that to mean: A) The boss took time out of her day to meet with you and express a kind of passing wish that you'll do your job, but no pressure; or B) The boss just told you to fix the Flugermann contract?
Seriously, mate. C'mon.
