> The clock is my dictator, I shall not rest.  
> It makes me lie down only when exhausted.  
> It leads me to deep depression, it hounds my soul.  
> It leads me in circles of frenzy for activity’s sake.  
> Even though I run frantically from task to task,  
> I will never get it all done, for my “ideal” is with me.  
> Deadlines and my need for approval, they drive me.  
> They demand performance from me, beyond the limits of my schedule.  
> They anoint my head with migraines, my in-basket overflows.  
> Surely fatigue and time pressure shall follow me all the days of my life,  
> And I will dwell in the bonds of frustration forever.  
> (Marcia K. Hornok)
