Some projects are more chaotic than your assumptions...

John,

Sorry for the delay in responding to your message, we've had an  
overwhelming amount of feedback from the OmniPlan public beta--which  
is great!--and we're still trying to get caught up.

Have you thought about splitting your resources across tasks?  If you  
have two tasks and assign a 50% of a resource to each of them, they  
can proceed in parallel at half speed (so if each is scheduled to  
take a week of effort you'll see both of them end after two weeks).

Does that help?
