"What can I say? There's nothing but the rush of hunting people down and killing them! I mean my hearts beating! MY HEARTS BEATING! My hands are shaking! MY HANDS ARE SHAKING! BUT I'M STILL SHOOTING! I'M STILL GETTING HEADSHOTS! It's like BOOM HEADSHOT." -Some Guy Consumed in E-Drenaline
"In other news, another Greek deadline for resolving their fiscal crisis has come and gone. Finance ministers are now saying that the REAL deadline for resolving this crisis is in two weeks."
A deadlinejunkie is a person who can only function, or make progres when the deadline is close.
this mostly contains weeks of pushing work in front and then a couple of nights long hard work, while being stressed out about it.
A random deadline to complete a task, which has no real worldconsequences. For example, your office sets Monday as the deadline on all canned food donations for charity , but the box just sits there until Friday, which is the actual day they planned on taking it to the food bank.

"Christ, it's the nearly deadline already?! Hey Pete, put down the controller my friend - it's time that we looked at these shuttle schematics."
