Ordinarily, this would be both a pain in the ass and cause for a bit of heartache. On a regular day, I’d be firing up Slack right now to confess to James Bridget that I’d blown a deadline, the wine-dark shame of failure settling over me like a cowl. There would be last-minute adjustments to the schedule to manage, and the trickle-down effect on staff to contemplate.
But you know what? That’s not happening today. This editorial isn’t done, but it’s got the makeup of a good editorial, right?
