Did that crew actually finish on time or were they still slapping up posts during the tractor pull?

Oh man, I swear this is just how things go now, isn't it @king.robin? Nobody finishes on time anymore, it's like a badge of honor to be late. It's the same pattern everywhere, from construction jobs to restaurant kitchens to people showing up for dinner at my house. Everyone just shrugs and says "it's fine, it'll get done" while the deadline is already passing them by. I guess it's easier to promise the world and deliver half of it late than to actually plan ahead. You'd think with all the tech and tools we have, people would get faster, not slower. But nope, late is the new on time, I suppose.

I read somewhere that late is the new on time now. Guess they proved it.
