Wahhh. Litigation's no fun either. I had to work all weekend memorial day weekend one year. My first part was fedexing an original document on the Friday before for Saturday delivery.

I walked in at 8:00 AM on Saturday and a what did I see? My fedex package sitting by the door step. Apparently, no one told me that they occasionally like to let the drivers go home early on Friday. After a billion phone calls I got some Fedex manager who lived in the city agree to meet me at the fedex garage on Saturday after he dug out the document and I had to walk over to the NYC 24-7 post office near the garden to send it Saturday for Sunday delivery. And of course, I then had to work Monday.

Boy it sure sounds tough to be a lawyer.
But my point was these deal guys do shit they have to know is pointlessly deadlined. I presume there was a guy waiting for your FedEx and there were briefs due on Tuesday. So you story was different. My guy worked right up to Thanksgiving to make papers that he had to know no one would look at for days.
