Word of The Day: Vague Deadline

vague dead.line [vāg dêd’lîn]
noun

  1. An unclear time limit. Often implemented with the intent of relaxing time boundaries only to produce an impending sense of doom.
  2. A clearly stated deadline that has been utterly ignored and therefor requires de-emphasis. Usage: “Yeah, we figured 3pm sharp was a vague deadline and that it would be OK to get it to you at 6pm tomorrow.”

I lead a fantastic team of WordPress developers building enterprise level WordPress systems. On occasion I have been known to speak at conferences on the topics of Freelancing, WordPress, and the meaning of life, though I tend to spend much of my performance energy on my music. Perhaps one day I will figure out how to merge the two without having to write songs about debugging Javascript.
