Maybe that's the part that rcally rubs me the worst. 1 just hate to sec anybody so damn organized. As for the rest of us we just survive from one deadline to the next. It ail cornes to a head by Wednesdlay niglit when the paper goes to press and it ail starts on Monday of the next week as that fearful deadline gets dloser and dloser.
