I was torn whether to post this in Tell us about your day at work or in Shop Talk. It could be any industry, any job, any time. For me it was the Christmas card emergency.

Projects and clients often wait until the last minute to be complete things, but this was my special holiday treat to bear. It is 11 o’clock in the morning, I am just sitting down to prepare for a meeting I had at 1 o’clock (speaking of last minute), when I get a call from another client asking me to help finish their Christmas card. I thought no big deal, take the info, and I’ll call back later to get the details. Unfortunately the card was supposed to be at the printer by 12 o’clock.
