…and there's this deadline today at 9:30 AM. Must get SM (senior manager) out the door to a critical meeting with two originals + eight copies of contracts and backup documents to distribute. Two of us are working with him to get final corrections completed and copies made and sorted into piles to be finalized. It's chaos. Paper is…
