Summary of my day:
8:30-4:30 (including half hour lunch)
One cheque worth more money than I'll ever see in 3 lifetimes.
129
pages of invoices attached to said cheque.
Me - did 74 pages in 7.5 hrs.
My direct boss - did 10 pages while I was at lunch
A guy named Tony - assigned to do the rest (45 pages) after my tank was empty at 4:30, and I'd been told earlier that whenever I wanted to leave just to let Tony know and he'd take over *g*
Part of me feels a bit guilty for leaving at 4:30 (esp. since my manager gave me a $25 HBC gift card for helping them out (!)), but I also remind myself that I was doing about 10 pgs of invoices/hr, I did 8 hrs of that (7.5 if you ignore the half hour lunch), *and* that considering the number of invoices that were done when I left (individual invoices - I never did figure out how many were on each page), I did a pretty good job
Plus I'd been told not to stress myself and kill my hands when I was told to tell Tony when I wanted to leave - I was prepared to stay until the sucker was done if I had to
