20,398 Keystrokes

For about 10 hours the otherI worked on a project for 20,398 keystrokes (give or take a few hundred). That's right, I counted. Well, calculated. And 20, 398 keystrokes is not the type of day I would like to repeat - ever. Don't get me wrong, I love my job. I have a great set of bosses, my commute is 2.2 miles, I come home for lunch everyday. But at the end of the day, it is a job. Not my passion. Now, if I typed 20,398 keystrokes for writing a book, or newspaper columns or my blog, then I would love it. Because then, I'm expressing free thought not typing codes and dollar amounts into a computer.
