Heh, it is a truism: work expands to fill the time allotted.  :lol:

Don't worry, in the real work world the deadlines are more likely to be "have it done in an hour" rather than "by the end of term" or even "next monday".  ;)

Have the airlines finally admitted that your laptop computer can't crash their plane?  How delightful.

I'm just pissed that airlines think my camera will crash the plane during the best times to take photos out the window.  <_<
