Next Week's Deadlines: Because Time is of the Essence (Apparently)

Here are the most important, not-at-all-optional deadlines to keep you up at night:

• Monday:
  • Submit TPS Reports to management by 9:00 AM sharp
  • Meet with marketing to discuss their "great" new ideas
  • Finish that one report that's been looming over you like a specter
• Tuesday:
  • Code that "simple" feature that's been bugging you for weeks
  • Attend yet another "synergy meeting" that promises to "change the game"
  • Write a memo to the intern to "remind" them what they're doing wrong
• Wednesday:
  • Present your latest, completely-not-terrible idea to the team
  • Meet with HR to discuss why the coffee machine is still broken
  • Finish writing that email to your boss that you've been putting off
• Thursday:
  • Fix that one bug that's been driving you crazy (again)
  • Attend a meeting that will "definitely" change your life
  • Write a strongly-worded letter to the CEO (just for fun)
• Friday:
  • Finish that project that's been hanging over your head like a guillotine
  • Meet with the new guy to "get to know him"
  • Plan your weekend, because you "deserve" it

Don't forget to breathe, or your brain will turn into mush!
