So the test today was a full fireman obstacle course. Carrying rolled hose up multiple flights, hauling equipment, pulling a charged hose, carrying a body, a ladder climb and such. Followed almost immediately by a 1/4 mile run. It was all timed and you couldn't pause at all. Apparently the first two to run the course quit at the third obstacle.

Next step is someone a rung higher on the ladder will call and ALSO tell her that her article is being delayed because we really do have a tight schedule. There's virtually no wiggle room for lateness. An article can be late by maybe 2 days, but this author is close to 7 days late, so she's not getting published in the issue she was originally going to be in
Is there any chance her response to this news could get her article dropped entirely? rubs hands in anticipation...
