2004 (May-December) = 6,230

Since these numbers only tell part of the story, here are my "contact hours" (i.e. meetings attended for system business) for the past several years:

2003 = 4.5 (2 meetings), plus Book Blitz which took two days, and a Dewey session from TMQ on one day; TOTAL = 28.5 hours
2004 = 22.5 (10 meetings), plus 2-3 online training OCLC training sessions on Connexion; TOTAL = 27.5 hours
2005 = 35.5 hours (10 meetings, plus one two-day seminar requiring a 6-hour round-trip drive and overnight stay)
2006 = 52 (17 meetings of varying lengths, including three that required 6-hour round-trip drives), plus 6 teleconferences which aren't included in the master list, and three days in Boston for PLA (figured at 10 hours/day); TOTAL = 94 hours

Keep in mind that each regular meeting requires a two-hour round-trip drive.

And then there's all the mapping from III to Sirsi...which would only depress me if I totalled it up, so I won't.
