Idk if it's just because I'm used to fast paced high stress jobs but time moves so slow here. I was told the other people in my position get through one (1) case a day. Sometimes a day and a half if it's complicated. They've had high turn over recently because they hired people who weren't able to do it.

Idk what to do with myself so it's not obvious I'm slacking off and keep myself from dying of boredom
