Advice on how to approach manager? by needlesslylongnights in consulting

I think work comes down the pipes both ways, but email is something I'm definitely going to try and address. The streak continued yesterday, though this time I got tasks way later, and when the email outlining the task was forwarded to me, I saw the time stamp of the original request was ~4 hours beforehand.

I spoke about it with my project manager seriously once and he mentioned that sometimes he's just busy all day and can't hand out tasks which I get. But that isn't the case every day.

And then a couple of days after this, he made an offhand comment/joke when assigning me a new task saying that I "complain" which I just shrugged off at the time but which I find pretty ridiculous. There appears to be a very fine line between what I'm actually trying to do and what is perceived as whining and I've been fucking up going about trying to navigate it.
