Deadlines!
« on: January 12, 2011, 09:51:21 AM »
So yesterday I get a call askng me to do some werk. Deadline is a week on Friday.

This morning I find an e mail (timed at 01.30 a.m.) saying it's imperative that it's all done and with them in time for a meeting at 9.30 on fooking Tuesday. eeek:

I must go and run around madly in circles waving my arms about in a panic
