You've got one more day of work on this project (it's a doozy! ), but then it's on to that little pet one you've been eyeballing. Keep that in mind when someone waltzes in late this afternoon with a bunch of overdue items, and do what you do best. Smile and handle it. If worse comes to worse, you can always ask a coworker for a favor: it's not like it's impossible to find someone there who owes you one, right?
