Tight Rope Walking

This week and next are a delicate balance of trying to do the impossible, yet get as much done as possible. I have projects due at work that are missing parts. I have a slim chance of begging those parts out of the machine shop. My customer has no interest in hearing we will be late with the project. I tried the direct honest approach with him, he basically refused the truth. So, yet again, I am trying to pull off the impossible. It feels like I do that a lot in this job. I get things done that are one step from impossible, sometimes that step is before the impossible line, sometimes it is after it.

Right now I have my fingers crossed that everything works out, but to be honest it is not looking good at this point. I see many, many long days ahead of me.
