Mood: Happy
As a journalist by degree, I've always taken deadlines very seriously. I don't mess with them, ask for extensions, or miss them. Ever. But I can't help but wonder about the person who wrote this:
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." --Douglas Adams
Now there's a fellow with a sense of humor! (...but maybe not a job...)

Adams wrote the highly influential series of books called The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He was well known for his eccentric genius, and for the fights his publicist and producers had to wage to get anything out of him by deadlines. Fortunately they were patient...which paid off for them, too. ;)
