LOL Deadlines

So, if I could do the fun graphics manipulation, I would do something like this:



And label it: OMG, u want work done today?
Then at the bottom: U b disappointed...


But since I don't have the technology nor the knowledge, I'll leave you with a quote from the immortal Neil Gaiman:

"Big Deadline is still a thing of madness. The other two little deadlines at its feet chivvy and squeak and grunt and bare their sharp little teeth. Several smaller deadlines howl impatiently from the bushes outside."

And a nice slogan from Douglas Adams:

"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by."

"O NOES! IZ GOTS NO WORK DONE!"

Heh, I agree with the deadlines. Most of mine are self-inflicted and I burn myself out almost every time to get them, but I hate that wooshing noise as they blow past. It would be nicer if they didn't slow down just in front of me and stick out their tongues.

Ha! I love it. Much better than mine. :)

And yeah, the deadlines that mock you as they go by are far less fun than the ones that whoosh about their merry way. We are utterly in accordance.

Call it suffering with Glorious Saber. Writing a character who is suppose to be speaking LOLcats has been a great challenge for me. Mostly because the horrors of English abuse that LOlcats represents kills me a little bit every time I see it.

But, it is funny.
