for the efficient employee.

so i’ve got this summer job as a program assistant for a private school.  my boss is a young guy – can’t be more than a few years older than me – and since my position isn’t super well defined.. he’s been having a hard time finding work for me to do before the program starts.  or rather.. i finish my work too fast for him to keep up.

the poor guy gives me stuff that should take normal people a few days to complete… and i work at what feels like a snail’s pace and finish in a day.  and i do my job well.  (i’m actually just stating facts).

as a result, today, the president of the school sent me an email requesting that i enter in surveys from other programs.  there is a stack of maybe 1000 pages.  double sided.  does anyone else find that funny?

anyway… so my question for any kindred spirits out there is: what do you do when you feel like you’re working slow – but really aren’t?  do you take your sweet time?  do you just keep at ‘er?
