I am just now realizing that anything I do takes 3 times as long as it
seems that it should. LOL

Yep, standard rule of thumb for me. figure out how long it takes to do the
job. Multiply times three. That is about right. Except anything that my
wife is involved with. You can tack on another 50% to those jobs.

I had a boss once tell me that for a realistic development schedule,
one should double the digits and increment the units, so a job that we
think should take a day, gets double to two days, then the days
incremented so the estimate should be two weeks. Somehow, he never
bought it when we used the process, though.

And then there are those jobs that never seem to get done. Those are
referred to as the FOREVER JOBS.
