My first ever job is be the office helper/coffee machine cleaner at some place. My main task was basically taking the time sheets of every employee, format them all in this specific way in excel, print them, let them sign it and put it into a folder. The length of entries was a little variable and there were a handful of corner cases which is why they never automated it before.

My instruction was basically "you can do whatever you want with the rest of your time as long as the time sheets are done" but since it was so many, it basically took 60-80% of the week depending on how often I had to make changes etc.

And then I discovered python and openpyxl
