Deadlines; we all have them, sometimes we hate them. There’s always that finishing touch, or the last piece, but time’s up, and they want it now. On the other hand, deadlines move us to action. We can’t put it off till tomorrow, we have to do it today. Burn the midnight oil, work till the wee hours of the morning. We hand it in, and go home and sleep for a good 14 hours. It’s done, and that’s all that matters. I mean I hope they liked it. I hope it turned out alright. I’ll ask them. They smile. “Good job”, they say. And now I really am safe and clear. It’s done, the boss liked it, and next time won’t be nearly as stressful.
