'My management philosophy is simple. Get the paperwork properly filled out and submitted on time.'

ETA - Extra Time Apprciated

'Yes, I know there's a deadline on this project.'

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

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

"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?"

'Do we want to tackle this head on, or just stun it with a glancing blow until next Monday?'

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

'Enough is enough, John! You've got to choose. It's either your job or me.'

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

"They really expect a lot from us."

"I can never seem to get my report in on time!"

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

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

Running out of time

Workaholic Kip Johnson works himself into an early grave and doesn't even break stride.

"I got an extension.'

"It's a one year timer. It gives an added sense of urgency to my research grant."

'You need to relax...take some time off... enjoy yourself...be back in 10 minutes... get this report done.'

"If we hurry, you might still make this Sunday's 'Times' obits."

Yet another artist, pressed for time, resorts to working in Jackson Pollock's style.
