I used to be annoyed at people who couldn't keep to deadlines, get their stuff done on time, show up when they said they would, keep their word, etc. You agree to do something, you do it. End of story. I have typically been an on-time or, almost always, an ahead-of-time kind of worker.
But it turns out all you need is 2 kids, 2 book projects, 1 book chapter, 3 articles, 1 grad class, 15 grant reviews, 1 national service task, 5 trips, several sleepless nights, not enough childcare, and a few illnesses sprinkled in here and there to totally become that person who drops the ball. Now I get it.
