I did try to edge in some facts that the time wasn't enough keeping in mind that I was working with code I had not written, instead however my boss gives me a schoolyard type pep talk telling me to be be more confident in myself and stressed a lot on 'I know you can do it man, take it as a challenge - you don't know what you're capable of'. Well after a real long session which didn't turn out quite as I expected - I now have a deadline which on teh surface seems improbable and below simply insane. I think I'll continue at my maximum sustinable pace i.e. the pace at which I can work without going clinically insane even if it means working overtime and see what I can do in the time - hey its not like I have a wife or kids to go home to so I can work late in the office until my boss realises that I'm overdoing it [that is if he ever does notice that :(]. At the time of the deadline, he can't blame me for not working hard enough or long enough, it seems like a long term plan but anyway anything to get my mind of worrying about the deadlines...
