Perfectionist

A person who does not know the meaning of the words "budget" and "deadline".
Tim is such a perfectionist he spend 6 months designing how the buttons are going to look on a website. Unfortunately that's all the time we had to complete the whole project and needless to say the client did not want to spend any more money. The project got cancelled, which forced us to close the company, lose our homes and forced to live in the wilderness where we use the weaker members of our family as bait to distract wolves, bears and other wild life while we forage for berries which are not covered in bird shit. Thanks Tim.
