TBD - Time Botched Daily

Burning the midnight oil.

Working hours.

Man at desk with two in-trays reading 'urgent' and 'too late'.

'Today is the tomorrow I feared yesterday. . .'

"Three weeks until the pitch, LOADS of time!"

Busy Workload Today and Especially Tomorrow

"Yes, I saw the obituary. So, is that why you weren't in yesterday?"

'Don't worry about the company's pension plan. The way we work you, you'll be lucky to live that long!'

Late/Too Late.

Working Late

"Don't worry about missing the meeting, Henshaw. We assigned all the actions to you."

"The bags under my eyes have combined to form some kind of face backpack."

'Who wants to work late again, raise your hands.'

Clients who show up early for an appointment are really annoying ??" especially when you work from home.

"Where are you guys going?" "We’re out of here!" "It’s October 28th!" "The new team are running late. We need you to stay until February 2025!" "But I’m tired!!" "How do we know they won’t bail on us again?"

"Why can't I get anything done unless I'm totally stressed out about it?" "Is it possible to be relaxed and still be productive?" "What is wrong with my brain?" "Why don't you work better?"

"I'm swamped but I can squeeze you in for a few moments yesterday."

"I think that might have been one deadline too many for Tim!"

Deadline

"O.K., she's sitting fown to write in three...two....one...."

Pull an all-nighter?

"I wanted a Meticulous Monday or a Thorough Thursday report. This reads more like a Frivolous Friday."

"I don't know what I'm going to do...my presentation is due on Monday and I haven't even started...I'm not sure I know how to speak."

'The project is a little behind schedule. It was proactive, now it's retroactive.'

Executive Asks Death To Wait

"I think I see your deadline approaching."

"Sure I can make that deadline."

Unrealistic expectations tend to lead to disappointment. . .

"Alan had to work all night on his presentation....this is what 17 espressos does to him."

"Let's face it, this meeting isn't about tightening our work schedule. It's about stretching our deadline."

The four housemen of procrastination

A deadline comes to chew up a worker.

"I'm thinking that now is a good time to start those tutoring sessions."
