Deadlines are funny things. Sometimes they take on more importance as they approach. Sometimes people listen a little more keenly as each passing stroke of the clock grows louder.
But sometimes it’s hard to tell how much a deadline even matters when two sides remain at a long-standing impasse in their relationship.
