When the executive assistant to the president called me to set up an interview, she asked if it could be available within the next two hours. That was the only window of time the guy had for another two weeks. Somewhat befuddled, I told the assistant that I would see if I could make it happen, but that it also left me no time to prepare. She said this would be just a "get to know you," conversation. I rearranged my schedule to make it happen. The guy projected an attitude of "I'm so busy, you're lucky you're getting a chance to talk to me."
