Could you maybe just cut me a tiny bit of slack just this once? I know, I know... you've let me off the hook before, but I mean it this time. I'm going to respect you more in the future. I promise.
I just don't know what I was thinking when I made you. At the time, you seemed like a good idea. Seemed like you wouldn't be a problem. But you know how things get sometimes...
I was really meaning to meet you, I swear I was... sure, I got a little distracted, maybe didn't focus like I should have, and then, one thing led to another. It's a hard thing. Sometimes I get so carried away meeting other deadlines, the ones other people set on me, that I forget about you.
Anyway, maybe you can loosen up this time. I'd certainly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Deadline Imposer
The good thing about Self-Imposing Deadlines is you have the power to alter them any which way you see fit.
ReplyDeleteMy self imposed deadlines are whores. Just a little bit of pleading and they give up their deadlines SO easily.
ReplyDeleteYou can turn off a boss' voice in your head, but not your own. Know the feeling! Good luck with the deadline :)
ReplyDelete"i don't know what i was thinking when i made you"
ReplyDeleteis a line a lot of parents would like to say LOL~ ^_^
Self imposed deadlines are a fickle mistress. The panic is horrific then you realize...oh yeah, it's only me that will be disappointed.
ReplyDeleteWe've all been there and we'll be there again. Good thing deadlines aren't lethal.
ReplyDeleteYea thats always annoying
