How much "work" do you produce per hour?

Some people work 40-100 hours per week. If you can quantify your productivity per hour of your work day (Like if a cashier at Mcdonalds can take 30 orders per hour; or if a pizza chef can make 5 pizzas per hour), how much productivity do YOU produce per hour for your company?

No, it's fucking stressful. People think if you're on the buy-side, you'll be working less hours... Leaving @ market closing, bullshit. It's probably worse than the sell-side. But the reason why I tough it out is because I'll get bored doing something else as much as I hate the stress. My other senior trader left and joined a start up tech firm in the city and he likes it but misses the fast pace of trading...

 
Funniest

I've recently upped my game from 7 to 9 work units/hour after I started to put Adderall in my morning coffee.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
