Happy GOGiversary.
I'm in for:
1. Infected: The Twin Vaccine CE (Steam)
2. Loot Hero (Desura).
For a positive spin on a bad situation, I try and see if there is any humour in the situation, because if I can laugh a bit, it helps me feel better.
E.g. When the house was broken into years ago, my brother had been out drinking heavily the night before, and had been sick into a pail. He'd put a book over it to stop the smell. The book had been taken off by the thieves, and I imagined their reaction when instead of finding something to steal, they were confronted by the sight of vomit. ;)
If you finish the thing, incorporate it into the finished project, and then repeat until you get sick of the "one more things" or the deadline is reached.
Alternatively, finish writing it up, don't add any more "One more things" and hand it in before the deadline so that it can't be added to anymore.

leon30: I saw about your nickname, but what about your avatar? Is Feena from either of those Chain Chronicle: Short Animation or Brighter Than the Dawning Blue?
Unfortunately I still haven't found my way of making a positive spin on a negative situation, so I hope I can find some ways here. Currently I'm in a strange situation when I have to deal with kind people that say they're trying to help me in my work (and maybe they really think they are, or maybe they just want to share the credit and shine in the bigger collective - like: "hey look I don't have to, but I helped a lot to this guy"[also a very viable option here and now]), but when I try to see the bigger picture I see that I have already enough work done to cover not only the minimum but to make a good final results, and what they do seems like dragging me with the promise of "fantastic results - the top of the top" (never spoken in that way, just: "you do this one more thing and it will be better"), without any reward what-so-ever for the top-of-the-top results, and with the big possibility of failure due to missing the deadline because of the never ending "one more thing". And I don't know what to do :(
I'd make the project complete as it is, and then see if I had time to do another of their "one more things". If you do, start it, but if the deadline comes round and you haven't finished the thing, at least you'll be able to hand up a complete project.
