The Red Queen's Race

I got two cases on my Expedited docket this week, an After Final amendment, and a request to consider more prior art after an allowance. I wrote a Final Rejection in response to a regular Amended case, so I'm now at a total of four amendments, two on my Regular Amended docket, and two Expedited.

I finished a first action on my oldest Regular New case earlier this week, and I've been making progress on my one Special New case, which absolutely, positively has to be done by 3:00 PM Monday, the deadline for the first quarter of the Fiscal Year. Once I've done that, I can deal with my Expedited cases.
