    It's a weird question. :) Would you see your favorite team's match in the World Cup finals and don't mind a deadline slip of your important project? :) Onkar

      Watch the football of course. If a project can't cope with a 90 minute slip, then the project is already in serious trouble :-D Michael :-) "Eureka" is Greek for "This bath is too hot"

        Choosing to put a deadline during the World Cup is something quiet dangerous, at least for countries who enjoy football ("soccer" really sucks). IMHO, it's a fault to do so, and the one who put it should realized than people may be more motivated by their team results than by their work. cause you my tapeworm tells me what to do you my tapeworm tells me where to go system of a Down, Needles

          We have a TV here in the office to keep people motivated. It's better "losing" an 1 1/2 hour (I don't even believe the hour is lost) than losing the all-day-long performance of the staff. Crivo Automated Credit Assessment

            Record the match.. Don't talk to a human being who has watched the match and then meet the deadline... Then watch the match. :-)
