Deadlines....yikes!
Okay, so you see there was this deadline. Which is fine. Deadlines don't scare me. I love deadlines. I issue deadlines. Deadlines and me are like this (picture my fingers crossed - super close.)
But this deadline isn't like other deadlines. It's a trickster. See the paperwork for the deadline all said 02/22/2016. All the emails I've about it referenced 02/22/2016. But some how my head interpreted that as 02/24/2016...and that was the part of my brain that put it in my calendar...soooooo...
Either I made a mistake or....this deadline was really issued by Voldemort and he had one of his death eaters do that memory thing on me where he implanted the wrong date in my head.
Totally Voldemort.
So why am I sitting here with the grin of panic plastered on my face instead of kicking deadline ass? Because fight, flight, or freeze are the proper evolutionary responses to this and I can neither punch my deadline in the face or run away from the inside of my head (or Voldemort...which is who is totally to blame.)
I'm going, I'm going...here are some memes...
(Send me happy thoughts and wishes of luck people and tell me everything is going to be okay or Tinkerbell dies. And in this instance Tinkerbell = me. Except I'm taller. And wearing pants.)
It's okay though, totally have a plan. I'm going to get to work and...
Then if I start to panic I'll do this...
(although I will probably use my own name...personal touch and all.)
And if I need to submit a request for an extension I'll send this with it...which is super professional.
