I'm not sure why, although I remember after being thwarted by 請 enough times, I came up with the mnemonic "At 5PM at Friday, all your coworkers requests(請) come out of the blue (青)"Not exact to the meaning, but it worked well enough.

Then I looked it up in my word processor dictionary, and discovered it meant "sled". I laughed at not figuring it out earlier, but thought the character was pretty awesome.
