Change, Last Minute

In concert with an earlier mantra, "If you write it, it will not be read," comes now the observation:

If you ask for corrections, they will come - at the last minute.

Corollary to that:

After it is almost too late to do anything without a late-night rush.

Is there anything more to say?

Sure there is.

Let us be truthful with ourselves here: everyone loves to change someone else's work. This is especially true when there is no accountability - i.e., someone else, not you, has their name on the puppy but they have foolishly asked you (or have no choice in the matter) for changes that should be made.

Of course, of course, of course you don't have a lot of time to spend on this dog. but seat-of-the-pants opinion doesn't take much time. And it is so obvious that you, with your last-minute inspiration, can add so much. So much.

And remember: this cur may be mangy, but your 1 or 2 changes can potentially result in a complete makeover of the entire concept, presentation, formatting or whatnot.

Change, Last Minute - it is a powerful tool in the right hands.
