Datelines

In the past, humans hunt and gather fruits for survival
In mordern times, humans rush to meet all sorts of datelines for survival
No kidding.

There are the ever familiar homework datelines for school children,
project datelines for older students,
all sorts of work datelines for modern era office soldiers,
policy datelines, payment datelines, tax filing datelines,
application datelines, performance review datelines,
tenure datelines, medical check-up datelines
holiday booking datelines, refund datelines,
best offer datelines, renovation datelines,
paper submission datelines, thesis submission datelines,
birthday, christmas, anniversary shopping datelines
nomination datelines, election datelines, duh duh duh

Then when you think you've experienced all of it,
you start worrying about your kid's homework datelines,
project datelines, and so on...

Well, since datelines have become our way of life,
there are bound to be common datelines connecting people, affecting everyone,
so let me kindly remind you that there is a V-day dateline approaching,
and you ought to know what you need to do...
