Random Good #8 - Delayed Due Dates

Due dates are a necessary evil in our lives. We've been drilled with them from grade school all the way up to our working lives. We learn to deal with them, and unfortunately, learn the art of procrastination. We end up stalling and not doing work until we deem it absolutely necessary. This sometimes leads to disaster, but usually, it works out okay.

Now, once in a blue moon, due dates get surprisingly delayed. This happens due to sickness of the superior, weather conditions, or just any other random delay. The feeling you get from these delays is unlike any other. You get a sense of relief and you get extra time to complete your work. We really shouldn't get this relief, because work should be done in advance, but who are we kidding? We all procrastinate.
