    And honestly, if you’re going to do a single pass, might as well do multiple. It doesn’t take any more of my time for 1 pass vs 7, assuming I only have a handful to do. I’ll probably just start one before I leave for the day, swap to another when I come in, and repeat until the pile is cleared.

    If something is worth doing, and overdoing doesn’t take any extra effort, I’ll overdo it.

      That was basically the workflow. On smaller drives you could do one when you get in, one at lunch and one before you left. Eventually drives got large enough that it was just once in the morning and once before leaving.

      I’ll overdo it.

      Half the contracts you didn’t know if they wanted the short wipes or long wipes. So you just do long wipes to cover your ass. It’s not like there was a rush, it was a simply menial task that became a second nature set of bashing the keyboard. Like typing some of my passwords and pins… I have no fucking clue what they are anymore… but put in front of the keyboard and I can type them by muscle memory.
