Caulfield: I'm not a procrastinator. I'm deadline-oriented. Mrs. Olsen: Everybody finishes every job at the last minute. Caulfield: Huh? Mrs. Olsen: You finish, you're done. No more minutes. Caulfield: That's the lamest spin ever. Mrs. Olsen: I thought "deadline-oriented" was.

Years ago, I was in a small group putting together a jigsaw puzzle, when someone asked, seriously, why every time there’s a missing piece, it turns out to be the last one you needed for the puzzle.
Still trying to figure out how it could NOT be last…But maybe I’m just thinking like Mrs. Olson.

Caldwell and Mrs. Olsen have been doing this third grade gig for about 20 years now. They are finally getting to know each other. So cool.

I have no problems with deadlines – I especially love that “whooshing” sound as they go flying by.

Maybe a little reverse psychology at work here. Mrs. Olsen knows that if “everybody” does something, that’s the last thing Caulfield will want to do.
