Everyone wants time to be relative until the deadline starts moving faster than their excuses. by Albert Einstein

Isaac, I gave them relativity, not a permission slip for being late.

A lab closes at six no matter how poetic your panic sounds.

Marie, panic becomes poetic when the equation is unfinished.

No, Albert. That is just procrastination wearing a lab coat.

That is the thread: three reputations, one mirror, no clean argument.
