The Storm before the Fireworks :P

It is submission time, started a couple of days back actually, but it is still on and going strong. A  few of them have been wrapped up, but a whole long queue waits and the waiting time could range from anywhere between two to six days. After the sixth day, the fireworks take over the baton, sorry, I meant the end term exams. So the waiting time has a firm cap which cannot be fiddled with. Another good point to be noticed is that the queue length cannot increase any further since this is the last week of the term. The queue length would gradually decrease and then exactly zero. As for the utilization of resources, it depends, the classic MBA response. Actually a lot of the parameters could be brought under that head, i.e.,"It Depends". :P

Now if you are wondering why I am so busy speaking from an Operations perspective, let me make it clear to you. I was doing this Operations assignment and I wanted to take a short  break in between. What better choice for a break compared to eating poor readers' heads?? And now I am back to work... :)
