42I Need More Time

 A:So, Casey, how are things going with the photos for the press kit?                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 B:Yeah, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
 I might need to ask for an extension on that deadline.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
 A:You’ve had over a month to get this finalized! Why are things delayed?                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 B:Well, the thing is, we ran into a lot of problems. . .                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 A:I’m not looking for excuses here. I just want to get  this finished on time!                                                                                                                                                                                                  
 B:I know, and I apologize for the delay. But some  things were just beyond my control. I had trouble booking the photographer, and then Michael was sick for three weeks, so I couldn’t include him in  the photos, and the design team lost all the files, so I had to re-do   
 the pictures.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 A:I’m not going to put this off any longer, Casey! I want those photos ASAP!
