You can *always* ask! Please please please don't hold back because you
think we're too busy. We were incredibly busy, and probably would have
said "AAAAAaaaa!" in response, but we can - sometimes - fit in quickish
tasks moderately easy.

Worst case, fire an email summary of "Please Awesomely Fantastic LOSAs,
may I please have .... done?"[1] with the steps desired.
