Mad dash to the end

Just about to finish a mad scramble to complete a project by end of today.  The end of today is 5 p.m.  About 90 minutes before the end of the day, I received an email from the architect to put next Thursday's date on the drawings.  Very unusual since today is the due date and we always put the due date date on the drawings.  So, I call the architect and ask why we deliver today but put next Thursday's date on the drawings.  "Oh, didn't I tell you we don't need the drawings until next week?  The owner requested some changes and we got a few more days."  Um, nope.  Nobody said a word to us.  Especially when I called your office yesterday to find out if the drawings were due first thing this morning or if end of business day was ok.  "Sorry.  Give us sealed and signed drawings next Wednesday."  Dangit.  A sleepless nite for naught.  Well, nice thing is we are FINISHED ANYWAY!!!  Moving on to a different project starting tomorrow.  I have a strange premonition that sometime Tuesday we will receive a request to change something on the project we think we are finished with today. 

Anyway,  have a nice Friday evening.
