Another slippery slope is working without breaks and then people getting butthurt because you had the audacity to actually not work when you technically didn't have to be and they were fully expecting you to push through and get things done so that they didn't have to XD
I have never had that happen before
Hope you felt better after finishing it :)
I did plenty of leaving it til later when I was at uni. Almost never ends well but I guess some people have to tell themselves that everything worked out just fine even if they're stressing and swearing to nerver leave things til the last minute again when desperately rushing to get that assignment in on time only to rinse repeat because having fun now was infinitely more desirable and important than doing boring stuff XD
These days I have to choose what isn't getting done today/this week/month/year/ever and I feel like I'm always getting in trouble for the things that get left regardless of whether that actually happens or not x_x
Getting butthurt in general is a slippery slope, but yep I agree, organisations and corporations can have unrealistic expectation. How dare you not work on your weekend when you're not getting paid?! Been there.
It's not finished, it'll be another week or so, maybe two...it's a big document and much rests on it. It'll get done though and is coming together nicely.
We've all left things for later and often get away with it, sometimes not. I guess I don't like to make a habit of it as later may never come, or opportunities could be lost in the meantime. I'm not the leave it to the last minute guy really.
Like you say at the end of your comment, it comes down to prioritisation and a person who can do that well is ahead of the game.
