It wasn't until five past four that he mentioned that it was really urgent, and he was under pressure to get it done ASAP. I could have flung together a few quick hacks just to tide him over if he'd mentioned that earlier, but by then I was already two-thirds of the way through the elegant approach; so now it'll have to be finished in the morning
