Friday: DEADLINES! Slap Them Before They Slap You

[amazonsun]

Bwahahaha!!! That was the best one yet! I <3 you guys!

[imthelobster]

McKay = amazing.

[selfwindingwriter]

I agree. Also, you = amazing.

[marilla82]

Seriously. SERIOUSLY!! I<3 McKay. No, no really. I really, really do.

Also, about the actual content, thanks for the advice. It really good advice that I should probably heed.

[selfwindingwriter]

I <3 McKay, too.

I apparently have a lot of advice.  Next week I think I need to not give advice.

[mandebooks]

My solution for deadlines is set them myself and since i am the project manager, implementer and executor I can then have a three-way phone call with myself and determine that I need more time or congratulate myself on blasting the deadline out of the water!

[selfwindingwriter]

I wish I could set my own deadlines at work; it would make it much easier to get an extension of just a day or two so I can accomplish things and sleep at night.

[Kylanthra]

Hahahaha wow you really hit him good :D

Loved the dramatizations a lot. It really helps to put Deadlines into perspective.

[selfwindingwriter]

Deadlines need to be put into perspective comically. Otherwise I will have to hide under my desk, wrap myself into a ball, and cry.

[surferartchick]

OMG the sneak attack was awesome! I almost spit out my water!!

[selfwindingwriter]

Almost? We'll have to try harder next time.

[surferartchick]

yes, you try harder!!! I want the feeling of water through my nose on the next video!

[Katiefoolery]

NO-ONE DOES MY LAUNDRY BUT ME! Because it's good for procrasinating purposes. Yes, I do have to sit here and watch the lights on the washing machine change.

Also: checklists! I love ticking items off as I complete them and sometimes it lets me see that the task isn't as big as I imagined before I sat down and wrote out everything that was involved in it.

And other times I realise it's even bigger. This is less good.

[selfwindingwriter]

I'm a big fan of checklists and ticking off items. I tend to use Excel spreadsheets to calculate how much I've finished and how much is remaining. (Yes, it's been pointed out to me that I"m slightly anal retentive.)

I, too, hate it when I realize the task is even bigger. D:

[Katiefoolery]

Oooh, an excel sheet! A whole new world of checklist-related opportunities has just revealed itself to me...

[sopdet]

You know, it might not be smart to put your spousal abuse on YouTube. The authorities have, as I understand it, started to use this series of tubes.

I'M JUST SAYING.

*waves to McKay*

[selfwindingwriter]

I don't think it's abuse when your husband says, "Hit me harder."
