Week 27 - Andrew - Deadlines

Worst Andrew,

Hope you are well.

I wanted to write a quick note, just to cover some concerns I have around your historical and current relationship with deadlines. This is the fourth or fifth week that 'Thing a week' has been delivered within the last half hour of the allocated week.

When we began this operation, I took in good faith that your experience as a project manager, and your day-to-day work bringing together complex campaigns for large clients would translate. Sadly, this has not proven to be the case.

Working with you, I've managed to isolate the root cause of the problem - in short, you are an idiot. Saturday mornings, you routinely wake up between 30-90 minutes earlier than your wife. This would be a perfect occasion to write thing a week. You could sit in your bright living room, fizzing with caffeine, and knock out a few hundred words beautifully capturing something meaningful. Instead, you watch the Shield. Vick Mackey isn't going to write your thing a week!

As an alternative, you could wait until late on Friday evening. Once you were a couple of cocktails in, dry martinis with flakes of ice, just Hunter S. Thompson your way through a blast of keyboard chatter. Instead, you watch Youtube music videos until you fall asleep.

This week, I'm confident that I'll receive yet another 'word count wonder'. Can we schedule a call for later this week to make sure that you are clear on the opportunities available to you.

Regards,
Better Andrew

PS - 20 mins a day on a train. You could jot down a few ideas? nope - you watch the shield on your phone.
PPS - We still need to have the weight loss conversation. I'm aware you're ignoring my emails.
PPPS - My solicitor is now managing conversations regarding your responsibilities around 10K running.
