File under not my job

We are having an important speaker come to campus Monday. Our chair has been involved in coordinating this at the college level. Today, this comes to my inbox:

To: twice@slac.edu
From: chair@slac.edu

T,

Could you get up some notices about the Mon talk? Inviting all science students.

The [physchembio] of [topic of current interest].

P.S. [secretary's name] will be here tomorrow (Fri) morning).

Thanks,
Chair

Hmm, perhaps he could have just sent the request to the secretary then?
