Was that the sound of a deadline or two whizzing past?

I had such great plans to work on a couple of big projects while I was in New Zealand, I did.

Deluuuuuuuuded.

So I'm sitting here consoling myself that it's not the first of November on the the other side of the world until tomorrow. And hoping like hell the deadlines I was given had slippage room built in to them.

Ahem.
