I have to re-evaluate the meaning of “personal best”

As I’ve just noted, I match and dispatch refurbished whole-system exchanges as a big part of my current job.  (That may be changing soon, but it’s too early to say.)  As I also just noted, matching refurbs is a very detail-oriented, fiddly process.  It’s a good day when you can get twenty-five done.  Except for me.  Until now, I counted anything over thirty as a good day, and forty was the ne plus ultra.  I had only done forty twice in my life, and one of those two times was last Friday.

It would now appear that either I ran out of work or I just wasn’t trying on Friday, because today when I shut down, I had dispatched fifty-three systems, including two servers, which are lots harder to do than desktops and laptops.  That means I just topped my previous best day by more than twenty percent.

And before someone asks, yes, my managers are taking notice ’cos I particularly told them what I’d done, and they were impressed.

I'm an elderly tech analyst, living in Texas but not of it, a cantankerous and venerable curmudgeon. I'm yer SOB grandpa who has NO time for snot-nosed, bad-mannered twerps.
