uncomfortable cossetting

To illustrate how deeply and almost singularly enmeshed I am with the task at hand (i.e. major project which counts for two-thirds of graduating mark), I have missed quite a few bits of news like this and a few other deaths. Rather late given the fact I used to work for the conglomerate, and only because a fellow ex-worker said something about it on Facebook (which I don't check often/thoroughly these days.)

Cooping up to work drives productivity high, but at what price?
