That was how Precedent Productions managing director Steve Loe described the atmosphere as staff rushed to count thousands of votes in the Southern Highlands Local Business Awards.
Nominations for the awards have closed and the mammoth task of counting the thousands of votes is underway.
Mr Loe said he never failed to be amazed at the huge number of entries that were received in support of Southern Highlands businesses.

"The Southern Highlands community is renowned for being close-knit and supportive of one another," he said.
"This proves, yet again, what a great place it is to live, work and do business.
"We have an enormous task ahead of us to tally the thousands of submissions we have received in coupons as well as through the Awards' website.
"We have been inundated with votes and counting is now underway to determine the finalists in each category."
None of this would be possible without the support of this year's Major sponsors: NOVA Employment and Flower Flower and Support Sponsors: Wingecarribee Shire Council and White Key Marketing.
"It is only with their unwavering assistance that the program is able to continue to recognise the great achievements of local businesses and their staff," Mr Loe said.
The winners of each category will be announced at the Southern Highlands Local Business Awards presentation evening on Monday November 23.
The presentation will be held at one of the region's best event venues, Mittagong RSL Club.
