Abstracts are due for a major conference tomorrow. So what’s a poor-boy to do? Umm…sit down and write. Luckily my core dump capabilities are still reasonable, and within an hour two abstract drafts are done. Of course that doesn’t count the last three months of work on the project or countless sleepless nights agonizing over various aspects of the work, the budgets/timelines, and the personalities. Instead all some see is, “wow, you wrote that fast.”
