Having the kind of day where I have to have a long, hard think about whether it is ever appropriate to use the term "half-assed" in a business email.

I decided not. I settled for just listing the things that had not been done that still needed to be done.

I'd have an easier time using "shitload," I think. What gave me pause about "half-assed" was not merely the obscenity, but the implied criticism of the person who hadn't done what they said they'd do. I don't yet know what is going on with them, and I kind of suspect that they are actually half-assing this project, but better for me to just let their manager know what didn't get delivered and let their manager deal with it.
