My wife is happy to tell me I’m a jerk (over that one), so don’t feel bad about that part. But in this instance I had a camera-ready due with a hard deadline and nobody else was available to submit it. I guess I could have put a year’s worth of research at risk, but that’s much harder than you think (for what it’s worth, labor lasted a long time and had a lot of ‘down time’. But it’s a choice I still regret.) Add to the list of challenges: in industry you usually have a pretty deep bench to back you up, and in academic projects you may be one out of one or two contributors.
