Just do your best, get your letters/packets out. The students won't die if they have to wait an extra day to get their papers back, not really...

Fun, fun! Good luck and remember that you didn't really _need_ sanity during job season anyway.

Bardiac -- True, but grading is how I procrastinate from the job market! (Now that I've realized this, no wonder I was so good and graded six of them yesterday.)

Sisyphus -- I think sanity is ALWAYS optional in this profession!
