friend found this calendar which seems like a really cool resource for anyone in production #gamedev
photo of an old photocopied printout titled "RUSH JOB CALENDAR": MIR FRI FRI FRI THUR WED TUE 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 16 14 13 12 11 10 9 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 32 29 28 27 26 25 24 39 38 37 36 35 34 33 1. This is a special calendar which has been developed for handling rush jobs. All rush jobs are wanted yesterday. With this calendar a client can order his work on the 7th and have it delivered on the 3rd. 2. Everyone wants his job by Friday, so there are three Fridays in every week. 3. There are eight new days at the end of the month for those end-of-the-month jobs. 4. There is no 1st of the month - so there can't be late delivery of end-of-the-month jobs on the 1st. 5. A "Blue Monday" or "Monday morning hangover" can't happen, as all Mondays have been eliminated. 6. There are no bothersome non-productive Saturdays and Sundays. 7. With no 15th, 30th, or 31st, no "time-off" is necessary for cashing salary cheques or paying bills. 8. "MIRDAY" - A special day each week for performing miracles.

youtube comment that reads: “Carraway's words at the end there really inspired me, his humility to see that others might be more skilled than him, and that strats would be resolved, but still finding a way to contribute to your team and improving something for others, it made me want to be better, for those around me.”
