Not true here, so far. The older I get and the better I get at top quality last-minute jobs, so the more jobs with the same deadline I take on. Ask beest. I thrive on it and nobody outside the family knows/believes that I knocked the whole thing together at the last possible moment at the sametime as jobs B, C and D.

The thrill once the job is done and the praise comes is awesome, but that's followed all-too promptly by the empty feeling of no challenge.....

incidentally, you don't see me here on monday much, because most of my weekly deadlines are Monday 1pm.
