i was working on this project for 6 years and the deadline was coming up . i knew we should have asked for 7 years of funding but my boss said 6 would be enough . what happened ? did you finish the project ? not in time . the deadline came and i still needed about 3-6 more months . my boss said we should ask for an extension , but i knew those were rarely given . wow , that sucks . sounds like it 's your bosses fault . did he take the blame ? he took part of it when he wrote a great letter backing the extension . but i was worried and felt like i should probably start looking for another job just in case . well good luck with your future projects or your future job . thanks ! we ended up getting the extension so it all worked out .
