If you begin a series of posts (especially on extraneous and/or redundant topics), I think you just entered into a binding social contract to deliver those posts in a timely manner. It's your freaking job for Christ's sake! Now, here is a reasonable time table to release the next post:

1-2 hours: Very reasonable and expected. Writing a decent length post takes a good bit of time.

3 hours: Not so reasonable anymore. You are a full time writer whose focus should be on these posts. By all means have pet projects, but always focus on the posts! Hard to explain 3 hours away (other than unexpected life changes).

4 hours and over: Unreasonable. A post does not take that long to write, not if you are spending 8 hours a day on it (Joel being a notable exception). At least. Binding social contract, remember? You have a job. Stop bitching and do it.

You don't like pressure? Then write solo "NM" comments like Taskmaster Jack or snoopcester. Want to start a post? Then, my friend, you just entered into a contract with me. I support your livelihood. Think my boss won't mind if I tell him I will get that report done in 4 hours?

So posters, like you Dark Knight, get to work! Good lord, you think we ask for the moon. Just do the freaking job we're paying you for. You ARE my bitch!


So...hop to it, bitch!
