Deferred Execution

They've gone and extended the deadline on this assignment by two days. So just when I was gearing up the ajits [ego note: see how clever I am with the puns] to put in the gargantuan effort I can just dream of on windy nights [due to other constraints, could only start it this morning] to try and finish in time for Monday early morning. Even the sleep cycles were coming around nicely.

And then they take the wind out of our sails. A perceptible anti-whoosh is heard swirling around. People stir and their minds awaken to the possibility. Going home (for locals), a celebratory dinner and movies clamour for top rankings.

The fall of the blade has been pushed only by a little, but like it happens in those innocent-to-be-hanged movies, we live for these moments. Short-term greedy approaches zindaabaad.
