Bingo...in professional services you can't be late. No choice but to be early and be prepared.

In a similar vein Dad taught me that the secret to success in this world is that you must work a half a day. It really doesn't matter which 12 hours you work but about a half day's effort is what it will take. Dad's a smart guy. There is always something that needs to be done. If you think you're finished then you're not looking at the right plan. Now get busy...
