Yet more re-defining of the possible in my job . . . . One of my colleagues on the used-exchange team has been on vacation this week, and his being out means that there’s enough workload to go around that I don’t have to hold back to avoid hogging all the work there is. Result: one day with 47 exchanges dispatched, one day with 46, today (a short day; I had a doctor’s visit) 31, and the week’s total at 137 and counting. Unless tomorrow is just crazy slow, I ought to break my previous weekly record of 150 about mid-morning. If I didn’t have to be my own loader and enter half my own work into the tool myself to keep the guns firing, I might have cracked fifty in a day again.
Out of curiosity, I asked another of my colleagues, and one of the better ones in my estimate, how many exchanges he dispatches on an average day. His answer? “Twenty-five-ish.”.
