Here are some interesting stats. There are 18 people in my department where I work. That means I’m 1/18th of the workforce. I constitute five and a half percent (5.555….%) of the work force in my department.

Yesterday, we did 50 batches total. Of those 50 batches, I did…19.

19/50 = 38%

Thus, five and a half percent of the workforce did 38% of the work. Furthermore, the next closest person to me did a total of 8 batches. Consider that the difference between how many batches I did and how many batches this person did is greater than the number of batches that person did. (Yes, that’s another way of saying I did more than twice the number of the next closest person.)

Unfortunately, that’s not at all surprising to me. While it is true that I can type a whole lot faster than virtually everyone in my entire building, this discrepancy is due more to the fact that I don’t goof off nearly half as much as everyone else. Sadly, we’re in the midst of overtime too, and this is a large reason why that’s the case.
