In "arghs"  :>

Seriously though, I think I really lucked out here.  And the stuff I do
covers such a wide variety of deliverables that I don't think it would be
possible to set a realistic benchmark.

I have heard tale of TW workload being measured in pages per day, with the
garden-variety TW clocking in a two pages or so per day, fully edited
(junior TW at 1 to 2 pages per day, senior TW at 3 pages or so).  Sorry, I
don't recall the source.

Of course, that all goes out the window as soon as you factor in web content
and development, marcomm  or image work.

Cheers ... Kim
