Nerd Journal: Priorities Schmiorities

So I just got some emails from my Nerd Lords howling about wanting something done AS SOON AS POSSIBLE OR ELSE.  This should explain precisely why I just did a completely frivolous post and am about to have a John Hughes movie marathon while I study.  I hate it when people scream about RIGHT THIS MINUTE!  The passive-aggressive bloody-minded contrarian in me wants then to let 'em sweat just a second longer ... a minute longer ... than absolutely necessary.  Oh, I'll get things done by deadline.  But don't you shriek at me about how IT HAS TO BE NOW and how I BETTER DROP EVERYTHING AND PANIC JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE.
