APAD: The eleventh hour

"The eleventh hour" means the last possible moment or just in time before it's too late. Though originating from the Bible, today its biblical connotation is often secondary to its meaning of acting "in the nick of time".

Biblical Source: The Parable of the Laborers in Matthew 20:1–16.
The Story: A landowner hires workers throughout the day. At the eleventh hour (around 5 PM in a 12-hour day starting at sunrise), he hires more laborers who had been standing idle. All workers, including the last ones, were paid the same full day's wage, teaching that "the last shall be first" and showing God's generosity and grace, not a model for fair labor practices.

For whatever reason, I had a few dreams recently about forgetting my school exams and had to rush at the eleventh hour to study.  It's really hilarious: as in real life, I always finished study one day before school exams beacuse I just hate last minute rush.

Then what does the dream mean? Wish I knew, but I haven't the foggiest idea. 

Have company coming today, so I'd better get moving to avoid chaos at the eleventh hour.

Best wishes to All !!!
