You remind me that I have to take my estimation much more seriously - damn I miss being in a team :-/

  With my former company, my estimates were (usually) within plus or minus 10% of the actual time the task took. Of course, I also broke everything down into manageable tasks and estimated those one by one. I also knew the system cold.
  
  With my current job, I'm glad the estimates are in "jellybeans" because I don't know the system well enough to provide dead accurate estimates -- not to mention the fact that we don't really have the luxury to sit down and break everything into manageable, estimable pieces.
