From bad to worse

Yesterday I was told that from today I will be working on a priority project. Today I was told that the deadline of the priority project is tomorrow. I met the senior manager in charge of the priority project and she told me that the management had offered her one day extension but she wasn’t workaholic enough to work on a Sunday.

I came back to my seat relived that some people shared my enthusiasm of sleeping until noon on Sundays. The senior manager had sent a mail to the team working on the priority project to update the project status. I decided to open the project status to enter my initials in the excel sheet.

I had a look at the project status and went back to the senior manager. I told the senior manager that according to my analysis the project would be finished after three days. She told me not to worry because tomorrow we will be getting another resource for one day.

I came back to me seat, analyzed the status chart with the new information and went back to the senior manager. I told her that even if we get one more resource we still won’t be able to achieve the deadline. She told me to get back to work because my analysis had proved that the team had to work on Sunday to achieve the deadline.

I came back to my seat and closed the project status because any more analysis would have revealed that we will have sleep in office to achieve the deadline.

To sum up

History repeats itself. My life always gets screwed around deadlines.
