I am learning that I am not very good at this hourly employee thing.
A few months ago and a few weeks into my career as a bus driver, I asked if instead of returning the bus key after each run, if I could just keep one of the 3 sets of keys with me. I could then just park my car next to the bus, jump on in and get my day started. The same at the end of the day. Park the bus and head on home without making a pit stop just to return the key ....which wouldn't get used until the next day when I would once again repeat the process.
After making this adjustment things have moved along swimmingly. 
It has been a very efficient change.
Here's the rub.
I have basically screwed myself out of over $2000 in income.
That extra few minutes to pull up to the building,go get the key then first head out to the the bus amounts to 5, 6 or 7 minute,maybe more.
Twice a day and we're looking at 15-20 minutes easily.
20 minutes on the time clock rounds out to a half hour (it seems hourly wages get broken down in 15 minute increments).
30 minutes a day,5 days a week is another 2 1/2 hours a week.
Multiply that by say 50 weeks. 
That's a lot of money!
Oh wait....I forgot Sundays...2 trips. That's almost another hour a week.
Again times 50.
Dang we're talking about close to another grand!
I have basically cut myself out of somewhere in the neighborhood of $3000.
Maybe being efficient isn't very effective?
Oh well, that's just not the way my mind works.
I have never been that guy who looks to get over on anyone.
For me, it has always been how can I perform at my best.
What is the most efficient,effective and productive way to get something done. In short, how can I be better at what I do. 
Better does not mean faster.
It means efficient, effective and productive.
It means does it serve the greater good.
As I look back at what I have done I want to kick myself in the butt!
$3000 is a tidy sum of money.
I guess the entrepreneur in me doesn't quite think like an hourly employee.
Kind of silly on my part.
Oh well, as they say, maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
$3000 ....what a dummy!
