A: My Gosh, the work just keeps coming, doesn't it?
B: Tell me about it. It's always like this at the end of the quarter though. Lots of projects getting to finishing touches put on them, a coming stuff that has to be attended to, lots of things with deadline pressure.
A: Yeah, I know what you are saying. It just seems like some of these work could be done better and were efficiently if people worked on it a little earlier, instead of waiting until the last second.
B: You've got a point but something's never changed. I've been here for ten years and it never ceases to amaze me. For a day or two before the end of each quarter, it's always nuts and just before the end of the fourth quarter; it's an absolute madhouse
A: I'm glad I haven't had to go through that yet. Oh, you'll get your chance.
B: Right now though, there's nothing we can do except take whatever is thrown at us and try to get it off our plates as soon as possible.
A: No kidding. Well, time to get our noses to the grime stone I suppose. Have fun today!
