Yesterday was my fifth anniversary at Boeing.
In those five years I have worked 10,715 hours, including 1,467 hours of overtime.
I have taken 48 vacation days, 41 sick days, and 60 holidays for a total of 1,192 hours of paid time off. I have never worked more than five consecutive pay periods (two weeks each) without working at least some overtime. For a 27 month stretch in 2006-2008, I worked at least some overtime EVERY pay period.
I have worked on two major airplane development programs (787 and 747-8). I have witnessed two first flights.
I have had four managers (Monday I will get a fifth) and six leads.
I have designed and released hundreds of parts and assemblies, input to two certification plans, and authored dozens of other documents.
I have presented information to the FAA, numerous airline customers and potential customers, management up to three layers above me, and other Boeing groups.
I have witnessed half a dozen structural tests, most of which I authored the test plans for and one where I designed the test apparatus.
And as of yesterday, I am fully vested in the pension plan.

Do you know yourself? Do I?
Why "Five Questions"?
The Five Questions I refer to are:
Who are you?
What do you want?
Why are you here?
Where are you going?
Who do you serve, and who do you trust?
They are drawn from the TV shows "Babylon 5" and "Crusade". They are, I think, a very comprehensive set of questions that identify a person. Of course, because of that, they are virtually impossible to properly answer.

Congratulations!
I'm amazed by your statistics tracking. My five year anniversary is next month, and I could not compile a similar set.
I like Excel. :-)
It started at US Tool & Die, where I was worried that I wouldn't get paid for all of my hours, so I kept track myself. That seemed like a useful habit so I kept it when I started at Boeing.
Congratulations!
It's amazing that you've kept tract of the number of hours you've worked!
