Damn Those Singularities

Work has been intense these days. I just didn't feel like I had enough time in a day to get everything done. I have 4 or 5 projects on the go at once, and as fast as the deadlines approach, more projects get added to my queue.

Case in point: A first of a kind proof of concept to be shown to a major American corporation next week.

I have to have it finished by Monday, and do the knowledge transfer so someone else can present it convincingly.

Well guess what, Monday night I travel to Chicago to act as a "Senior Product Architect" with another massive American corporation. And the day I get back (Wednesday) I hit the ground running on another multi-million dollar project.

It wasn't until I read "Singularity" by William Sleator that I realized the solution to all my problems.

You see, by harnessing the power of the time-distorting properties of an interdimensional tear, I was able to get all my work done before daybreak today. While mere hours of your time elapsed, I was spending years toiling away to ensure a successful PoC.

Of course, the downside is that now I actually look like a senior product architect.

But hey, the chicks dig older guys right? Right? Hmm perhaps I've miscalculated the importance of spending my life on work. And because my birthdate hasn't changed, I'm still not eligible for those senior discounts, and I'll probably die before I'm old enough to retire.

Damn you William Sleator and your singularities. Who says that time resolves all problems? It's a problem all on its own damnit! In fact, the root of all problems! If time ceased to exist, who'd have time to worry about anything anyway?

Think about that.
