Denial—There are eight MONTHS till my project is due. I can work on this, that, and the other first.

Anger—Where did my muse go? WHY won’t this go together the way I want?

Bargaining— If you will cook dinner and take care of the laundry for me for the next few days, I will be able to blow through this, no problem.

Depression—Oh, how am I going to be able to face everyone and say I failed. It looks awful, I could have done better!

Acceptance—Put on the coffee, turn up the music;  it’s gonna be a LONG night.

“I love deadlines. Especially the whooshing sound they make as they pass by.” – Douglas Adams
