One of my favorite expressions is “Hurry up and wait,” because it perfectly captures one of my least favorite scenarios to have to live through. You rush to get ready for some seemingly hard deadline, only to find out, once you’re actually ready, that a change in circumstances has pushed the deadline back to some indeterminate point in the near future.
