You think that's good? We have pictures of students working in the shop in hair curlers! I think there's even one of a student dressed for ballet...

To answer the initial question... I manage it all by working overtime in December and March (Since I'm salary, it doesn't really count as overtime from my boss's perspective). Seriously... before build season I work as far ahead as I can, and after build season I catch back up. You just have to accept how the build season goes, and have a plan to make sure your boss doesn't get mad at you
