"Old F.F.'ll be out of town in just a couple more days, Lew, but meantime here's somethin for you tonight."

Not only is Nate a generally terrible person, he's also a lousy boss. His formatting of this request is completely backwards! There is no "meantime" if Franz Ferdinand is not yet "out of town." Nate makes it sound like Lew doesn't have anything to do until Franz leaves so, until then, here's another folder with another job in it.
Is it just me? He's taking advantage of Lew here, right? Doubling up his workload? Am I reading that correctly or is my projection of having to work for Barb at Academic Books still showing after twenty years?! "You've got three bookcases of books to check in but in the meantime, here's four more to do today."
