After I automated, the overtime wasn't necessary at all.

It was standard in my department before me to work 3 weekends in a row once every quarter because of the terrible way they had set things up doing inventory. With that free time, I was able to come up with ways to automate things for other departments or if I didn't feel like doing anything, I would just sit around browsing reddit and drinking coffee. I didn't tell upper management, though, and I had the almost the entire day at work left to my own devices. I had a job that I automated away 80% of the work. When my boss became aware they didn't want me to show anyone else, which I found absurd. It allowed me to call the specific instance more consistently faster and without having to glance down every now and then. Plus I can use Ctrl or alt modifiers to create multiple layers for different kinds of logging. So, for instance, something was happening to my left that I needed to log, I am logging these instances with 1 on the numpad, to my right 3, above that to the right maybe 6? and then there are all the other keys. I found that if I used my numberpad it is easier to correlate geographically so that what I was seeing matched what my hands would do. Some programs I use require me to log data, specifically at times with time stamps. Lots of basic remapping with the numberpad. I hate data entry and if I only have to do it once I will do everything in my power to keep it that way. Inventory, purchasing and sales always took forever to pull info from each individually, simply made it accessible from one location.Ī script that extracts data from.
