Deadline Embracer Pillows

'It was okay, but they sure impose a lot of deadlines!'

"Great! I must be growing. The womb was less than half full last week."

"Russ had a novel published two hours ago and has a children's book coming out in 20 minutes."

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

Working Late

"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?"

Deadline

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

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

"I enjoy the one day of the school year...that I didn't forget to do my homework."

"Sure I can make that deadline."

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

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

Novelist, writing her own vows... runs into writer's block.

A Visit From The Procrastination Muse

'It's all right, I'm just a little behind.'

"Have you figured out what the powers of that new super hero will be? How about the power to meet deadlines? That would be a good power?"

'Next day to the coast! You must be nuts!'

"I have to get this project finished."

'Sir, I was wondering if I could get an extension on my paper?'

A business man sits at his office desk with trays that read 'going once, going twice... and gone.'

"I always put things off until the last minute."

"Look I'm half way through a meeting, this better be bloody important!"

"This project was a mismanaged rush job and woefully underfunded, but we did finish it on time and under budget."

Stressed woman tries to sleep knowing her status report for 48 projects is due in the morning.

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

Great. Fourteen things to cheer about and it's only Monday.

"I just need you to come up with something brilliant before the weekend."

"Old Dave's been beavering away on that project all week...!"

Computer From Hell

"I don't want the report next week! I don't want it tomorrow! I don't want it this afternoon! I don't want. . ."

'I know you don't like to travel, but I just want you to run this down the hall.'
