Holiday inputting challenge!

The holiday season is upon us. We'd like to avoid getting behind on our inputting targets, so we're going to have a holiday inputting challenge. That is, between now and New Year's day, we're going to try to complete 500 soldiers.

I know a lot of you have exciting holiday plans and vacations coming up, but this is a doable goal. I came up with the number based on how many soldiers you usually complete every week. This goal will be a little bit more difficult than our summer inputting challenge, but I think you can do it. Most of you are working on Project 2 soldiers, and they generally take less time to complete than Project 1 soldiers.

Of course, I still want you to do good-quality work (no Maureen-quality work). We don't want to cut quality in service of quantity. We're a little behind because of people leaving and inputters spending part of their time on cleaning and coding data, so we want to try to catch up.

On Tuesday morning, January 2, 2018, I will run my inputting reports for both Projects 1 and 2. If you've completed 500 soldiers, you will each get to add an average day's worth of hours to your time sheet (or take a day off if you always turn in 40 hours). I will figure out this number for each of you. If you average 5 hours per day this holiday season, you'll get to add 5 hours to your time sheet. Sound good?

I know you all are up for this challenge. Keep in mind, all soldiers that Sandy, Noelle, or I complete will count toward the 500.

Good luck, and happy inputting!
