I hate them! Basically a natural Type-B person, I find myself in a Type-A world. I love working on things … if they don’t have a deadline. I hate to be hurried. But, business – busy-ness – requires faster pace, especially in America.
What a wimp. Think about it, boy. Do you really need to ACCEPT all the rush? Do you have to accept the panic?
No. The only DEADline you really need to meet is at the end of this life. As to the rest? Well, it’s kind of like this:
Summertime
Check out what the other members of the Loose Blogger Consortium (links on the right side of the page) have to say. Some of them may not have met the deadline, though …
I don't know what type of person I am. I just am annoyingly on time/schedule and have always been so, much to the dismay of bosses, colleagues and subordinates besides friends and relatives. I have never been stressed out for being so either. Do you think that I am a closet superman?
ReplyDeleteRummuser, it would be hard to argue after your comment that you are any longer in the closet. If we are men of honor, we will inform Ursula.
DeleteWhat amazes me is how effective the glasses are. You take off the cape, put on the glasses and voila, you look like an Indian. I can't believe I missed the clues ...
I like to be on time, but then my father was a stickler for it:- On time, not a minute before or not a minute after! If we were early for an appointment he would drive round the block. If we were still early he would do the same again!
ReplyDeleteMind you, with age I am learning to relax more and not sweat the bitty stuff.
I am distinguishing punctuality from production deadlines. I am quite punctual. I just hate working through a project with a deadline pushing me.
DeleteIt's my nature to be on time and also not to worry about it. Guess I'm a lot like you A/B wise. Whereas you illustrated with classic jazz/blues though I - as usual - his the 60's -
ReplyDeleteboth work.
Now Ramana as a closeted Superman? oh - wait - he said closet superman. That will require a bit of pondering.
shackman, our friend is indeed an enigma wrapped in a riddle. Kind of a human conundrum burrito!
DeleteYes, a buried in a closet burrito full of Indian chillies.
DeleteRummuser, you do realize how dangerous that sounds in a closet, right?
DeleteKind of miss the deadlines of teaching. Either I have been retired too long or there was a Type A person hiding in me all of the time. Could I please be considered a closet Wonder Woman playing to Ramana's Superman.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can see tension developing on this front. Not that Ramana minds, because women competing for his attention is what he is all about! But, being Wonder Woman, you won't have any particular trouble.
DeleteBy the way, I already knew your secret identity. Your legs were what gave you away. Only one woman would have gams like that! Except maybe Zena.
Maria, you gave the secret away with the butt charade! I am not a leg man despite what the TOF says.
DeleteMaria, he has gained a new superpower I'm afraid.
DeleteI do think there is something very ominous about the word "dead"line. Makes you think twice about the rush.
ReplyDeleteIt does kind of get your attention.
DeleteTruth be told, most of us hate deadlines. The deadline at the end of life, well … kinda "no choice."
ReplyDeleteGlad Rummy is out of the closet. Now I know where to go if I get in trouble.
Blessings - Maxi
Maxi, I AM the trouble!
DeleteMaxi, since he figured out how to fly, there's been no end to it! What a showoff.
