I absolutely love being able to automate processes.
I just saved one of our teams around 300 man hours by writing a script to pull information from some very poorly formatted Excel documents into MS Access. It took all of 20 minutes to write and saved them from having to manually enter all of the data. Not only was it going to take a loooong time to manually enter it but you just know there would have been all sorts of errors since they were doing it by hand.
Scripting is your friend! :)
