“plan accordingly”

marcicatThis week we received an apartment announcement that says, in part:
“This Thursday between the hours of 8 am and 3 pm the water will be off for about 3 hours. We don’t have an exact time for when it will be off so plan accordingly.”
And my reactions were as follows:
1. It’s pretty clever that we get announcements by having a piece of paper tucked into the door frame. Guaranteed to reach people, with no immediate feedback mechanism. Impressive!
2. I appreciate the heads up, despite not doing any actual planning.
3. I’m sure upgrading the water backflow system is important, although I have no idea what that is.
4. I’d guess that “plan accordingly” is the landlord version of “please advise,” which is an oft-used phrase at my workplace that indicates “this is your problem now.”
