Tired the week is catching up with me and it is only half done. Two days left in the contract, [well two and a half, I'll be sneaking in on Monday for a half day just to get all the paper work done] and today they come back to me with revisions that need to be made to a part, pronto! So we have to perform miracles, and hand over not 2, not 3 but a grand total of 13 detailed drawing by Friday afternoon!
Yah baby, you're dreaming if you think that the drawings will materialize themselves by Friday. Had you given me a weeks warning I may have been able to pull them off, heck even a four and a half day I'm sorry but we really need this done it's kind off urgent I would have said 'sure not a problem, let me forego sleep and I'll work the extra hours'. However this is not the case and I am sorry to say that I won't be staying late to complete them. Not with two Christmas dinner parties that I plan on attending, not with the Christmas coffee get together that you are throwing and that we are obliged to attend. Not with the fuzzy brain numbness that seems to lately be my general state of being. I ain't coming in over the weekend either so you can forget about that. Which leaves us at a bit of a stalemate, you need your drawing and though I loathe leaving a contract unfinished I am not willing to come in beyond a nine hour day. Though there may just be a ray of hope, if everything runs fine, if there are no program glitches, if you provide me with all the necessary information, and not neglect to me tell things that are pertinent. We may just be able to pull your miracle off.
Update: Make that 15 detailed drawing by tomorrow afternoon. Two more were added today, due ASAP, or so they say! All together now, 'I am going slightly crazy'. Yessiree Bob I am !
