Sounds more accurate to expectations in my experience as well.

I wish! Try at least 100blk /day. And that is on an easy day. Can I work with you all? We were taught to cut a block a minute, levels or not. At slowest, one ice tray of 14 blocks in 20 minutes ,with quality. And yes ,I  can still do it after all these years. When I started I had 3 months (probation) to get the quality and quantity of techs that had been around for at least 10 years and I was straight out of histo school. Well taught, I might add.
