I would LOVE to have a chocolate stash, but this girl has no "Off Button" when it comes to sweets. I'd figure out a way to make every day an emergency until it was all gone. I ended up with a Chocolate PowerBar. NOT THE SAME! Dang. I would LOVE to have a chocolate stash, but this girl has no “Off Button” when it comes to sweets.

I sympathize. You definitely need chocolate. The worst is when they demand deadlines like this and then do nothing about what you've handed in. I used to be subcontracted to write for a client who never gave the project to her clients on time. I was left wondering, sometimes for months, what they thought, whether or not I'd have to rework, etc., and then she was always very late to pay me. Needless to say, I no longer write for her! At the same time, these quick and dirty jobs, if they do pay on time, can be nice supplements to your larger projects. The in between pays, I call them. PS. You are just like me! The tighter the deadline, the more distracted you are! What are you doing blogging when you have 37 minutes, someone might ask. Not me: I know exactly what you're doing!! :) Oh my lord!!
