There may be a time and a place for everything. The difficulty is figuring out when and where.

2 Classes Still to Grade....
And tragically, I told students from one of them they could pick up outstanding work from 12-3. Except, see, I haven't even started grading that class yet. I'm an idiot.
I only do it when I have stuff I should have given back to them long ago. When I'm on form, I don't say a word about when they will get things back... and they get them back with decent turn-around time. When I'm not? I write checks that my red pen can't cash :)

I did the same thing. Ha!
Been there *sigh*
Oh yes. I've done that too, more than once. You'd think I'd learn not to over-promise.
I can't tell you how many times I have told people I was going to grade something "tonight" or "this weekend" and then didn't.
You'd think I'd learn.
