ORIGINAL: kallisto I wouldn't have lied to him. I would have done my level best to complete the task. If I couldn't, then I would have explained why. If he felt punishment was needed at that time because I didn't complete the task, then that's what would have happened. It really is this simple.... The times I've set tasks within specific time-frames, it's been to make a point. That is that the rask itself was largely irrelevant and what I'm really looking for is the will and effort to succeed. I mean, really, look at the OP's task. What does she think her Master's gonna do with 300 written lines once completed - frame it or put it on ebay? To me, the BIG failure was to *lie* about completing what was always a nonsense in a practical sense. Focus.
