Tristan , could you stay a few extra minutes to discuss your project with me ?   Sure . We're on a pretty tight schedule , but we should be able to finish it just on time .   Are all of your team members on schedule ?   A few of the graphic designers are a bit behind in their work because of computer problems .   How have they decided to deal with that ?   They've agreed to work over-time until it's finished . They've even decided to come in on the weekend .   That's true dedication . I'm impressed . When is it due ?   We agreed that the deadline was next Friday .   Right . Well , given that your colleagues are working so hard on this project , I suppose we could change that deadline to Monday morning , I won't have time to look over it on the weekend anyway .   That'd be very helpful . An extra weekend is all they really need . Thanks .   That's alright . Make sure everyone knows that we must stick to the new deadline .
