You planned to wrap things up by a certain date, but people still need you. Never one to say no to a plight, see what you can do to stay a little longer.

A client or superior gets impossibly demanding.Ê Is it time to bring things to a close? This could provide the out you’ve been praying for.

The fulfillment of a farfetched hope pulls you away from the brink just in the nick of time. It’s the deliverance you’ve been praying for.

File your application and then forget about it. Trust that you gave it your best shot and let your record speak for itself.

You can’t insist on having final say and then not say anything. A prerogative must be exercised (and wisely) if it’s going to be of any use.

Take a glance at what lies farther down the road and you can see where circumstances are heading. This should assure you you’re on the right track.
