The Red Queen's Race

I got two new amendments this week, and didn't do any Office Actions on amendments, so I'm up to four. One of the new amendments is actually an Appeal Brief, and I've made an appointment with my supervisor to meet with him in October, and decide whether to write an Examiner's Answer, and let the Board of Appeals decide who has the better arguments.

Meanwhile, I finished my oldest Regular New on Tuesday, finished another Regular New case on Thursday, and have been searching for relevant prior art on my current oldest Regular New. I need to do this case and one more to make production for the Fiscal Year.
