I had a shitty job for a while. A good chunk of my day was taken up with just running this one report. A coworker and I would alternate weeks.
Well I automated it. It still took me half the day to run it, but that's because I needed breaks to play with my daughter and pet my cat.
When I quit, I sent the automation to my coworker. No sense in her wasting her time.
