Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Did you ever look at the pile of work in front of you and feel your soul wither and collapse?
Man, I'm trying to get work done, but my manager is out, and Sweet Fancy Moses, I'm spending half the day answering questions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have to commit to a date to my boss later today. This is nigh impossible to guarantee, but he's passing the date up to his manager, and I'm going to be held highly responsible for fuckups.
But as I said to my manager--better to do it right than to do it on time.
I also made sure to say that in journaled email.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ok, that was gross, but it's over. The deck is done. That just leaves the cars and the studio, and I cleared the center of the studio already. Actually, if they showed up early, I would be totally fine right now.
So, on to the town run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have made a low to middling complex project plan, that says one thing.
And then I fired up the calendar template in Word and just put one high level task in per day, and it says another thing.
I really want to give the second one to my boss, but the inevitable response to that is "You get paid to do this???"
I swear the math is good! I have no idea what Project is bitching about...
