The extra mile

Would it be enough?

Arithmetic

On every project I do there's an extra mile to go. Often I just want to advance my craft in some way. Not so rarely, it's a budget covering a mile too short.

Cut more money, that's less time (or hands, or tools) to do it. On a half-rate budget, that's an extra mile for every mile we go. On a quarter-rate budget, the budget stays serious, but the joke is on me. I go ten extra miles or not, it won't make much difference. There's never a mile-long project.
