Do You C0d Russian Roulette Style?

[sevenhalo]

I love coding this way. Every now and then I get that request that needs to be done ASAP.

"Derrick, we need to have this changed before the markets open tomorrow. The producers and board are getting upset; we can't wait any longer."
"What time do the markets open?"
"9am tomorrow. So you should have plenty of time..."
"I'll get on it tomorrow... 8am sharp."

It's usually followed by a sick look of disgust with every orifice on their face trying to scream "don't you take your job seriously, this had better work!!" Instead, they're choked back with tears and sweat. Some are so suffocated, they redden and pulsate as fear disperses the blood in their veins leaving it with no place to go but the surface. Since the body cannot run on fear alone, the lungs start overpowering the heart in hopes to recover. This fruitless attempt produces nothing more then violent seething. If this person didn't have a family history of heart problems; you have just altered their genetics.

"Make it 8:30am."

Yes!

Since I'm always working on a dozen projects at once there simply aren't enough "last minutes" to help me anymore
