I actually missed the deadline for the Whampoa Drive case today (and it's an important case some more)! My first MAJOR screw-up since I started on this job... I overlooked the time to leave the scene and underestimated the travelling time back to the news centre. To make matters worse, 晚报 had the shots and pretty good ones too. This really made me learn my lesson and it's truly a valuable experience. Like what Tiyan had said, "...it doesn't matter how good your shots are, if you miss the deadline... it's as good as crap...".
And "THAT", I discover, is really truly the NUMBER 1 rule in this profession.
