My immediate concern is the set of 150 assignments that I want to return on the 13th -- i.e., tomorrow ........ errrr, today. Fortunately I have helpers, and so I only have to mark 50 of the 150 sitting here. At 20 minutes to half an hour of marking per assignment this will "only" take ... well, YOU do the maths! (There are also two other piles of assignments in need of urgent attention. Sigh.)
