QOTD: meeting deadlines

2010-04-09 20:01:58.674886+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Tom Negrino's going in for surgery today:

Oh, I finished writing my part of our Dreamweaver book, so it's done. A friend tells me that after this, I should teach a community college writing class, and when some kid whines about his deadlines, I should lean in, and patiently explain to him that I've had a heart attack, and I've had cancer, and I still made my freaking deadlines both times. Punk.

Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
