Deadline Workers

Just a little note on yesterday's deadline.

Nancy's a bug, but she's fun to work with on deadlines. 'Real pain-in-the-ass for everydays, but bright and competent and funny when the pressure's on. Means she's meant for crisis mode, not everydays. Or she's schizo - but it works for us.

Solly's the opposite, though: probably everyone's best friend on everydays - keep him away when there's a deadline. Exactly the things that make him OK to deal with on the daily routine - steadiness, no sense of stress, always a joke, never pressuring you with an urgency - those things seem like such a backwards drag when there's a hard due date and a rush. Solly don't run - never - Solly walks.

So ya live and learn. Too bad we can't swap out Nancy and Solly on an as-needed basis. Then again: What do they think about me?
