Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed
This is the reality of working for a big 4 consulting firm:
It's 3:30 AM, you are in the lobby of a Courtyard Marriott in Appleton Wisconsin working on a powerpoint that you are supposed to present to a CFO in 5 hours, but your team of 4 fresh grad MBAs can't figure out the pivot table they are working on to get the right chart for the slides and some of the numbers aren't adding up.

You had to work through dinner, so somebody ran to get some sandwiches at Panera, which were cold by the time you got them. Your best hope is that you can wrap this up in the next hour so you can get an hour of sleep before you head to the office in -20 degree windchill to get yelled at for 8 hours on how you are doing everything wrong, just in time to rush to the airport, grab a quick McDonalds dinner before boarding a flight so you can get home before midnight and then get on your team meeting the next day at 7am.
