The Closing Ceremony is coming today.
(Unless I get hit by a car when I go out to buy groceries later.)
I appreciate everyone's patience with the Closing Ceremony delays. My life has been chaos lately and we ran into a number of bumps along the way which meant needing to find time to talk with other staff in real-time instead of being able to plough through the work at my own pace. I live in Europe and I am typically most productive on TBT between the hours of 2am-7am EDT, which is when most of the staff are offline or asleep. Certain snags meant I would have to wait until later in the day to discuss with the rest of the team how to best resolve an issue, then I'd need to wait until a day or two later when I had time to sit and actively work on it again - and these types of problems just kept occurring. Something that would normally have taken between 1-3 days to put together has taken nearer a week and a half as a result. But please do trust me when I say that the Closing Ceremony is going to be a lot more satisfactory, and has resulted in a much more diverse pool of staff favourite winners, than it otherwise would have if we had rushed to meet the earlier deadline.
Blabbering over. I hope you're all excited to see the winners later today.
