My Where's George Week in Review: 07/08/12 - 07/14/12

Hover over this explanation for more detailsThe nerd that I am, I chose to post once a week a summary of my previous week's Where's George activity in comparision to my goals for the year.

In order to make the charts fit, I had to abreviate the column headers. Each header is now hoverable for an explanation.

In the past week, I received 27 hits in 10 States [AZ², CA¹⁷, CO, CT, HI, NV, NY, SD, TX, WY]. I now have hits in 39 States in 2012 with 2 added this week: SD, WY. Additionally I now have hits in 437 counties with 4 new this week: Coconino AZ, Hartford CT, Lawrence SD, Teton WY.

Of those 27 hits, 1 was the 3^rd hit on the bill, 6 were the 2^nd hit on the bill, and the rest (20) were the initial hit on the bill. The longest bill active from the bunch was re-entered 2 Years 338 Days 19 Hours 11 Minutes after I originally entered it.

Sunday	Monday	Tuesday	Wednesday	Thursday	Friday	Saturday
08	09	10	11	12	13	14
8	1	5	3	4	3	3

Almost a third of this week's hits came on Sunday, but I thankfully still got a hit on each other day in the week to keep my current hit streak alive. It's now at 21 days and is closing in on being one of my top ten longest streaks all time.

Taking a look at how my predictions regarding bill entries and hits are going so far, I was slightly ahead this week for each of these three categories:

	SoYStart of Year	SoWStart of Week	EoWEnd of Week	WΔWeek Change: Number Added this Week	YΔYear Change: Number Added this Year	PPrediction (for Year)	P/WPrediction for Week: A Week's Share of the Total	PtDPrediction to Date: The Portion of the Prediction that should be Completed so Far	WvPWeek versus Prediction: How the Week's Numbers Stack Up Against the P/W	DvPDate versus Prediction: How the Year's Numbers So Far Stack Up Against the PtD

Total Hits	2799	3614	3641	27	842	4030	23.5	3458	+3	+183

Based on the goal of 5000 bill entries, here's how I'm doing towards my bill entry goals. Starting off with my goal of increasing the percentage that $1s make up of my entries by 1% (started the year at 86.29% so the goal is 87.29%), my percentage is now 86.99% [+0.70%]. I again cut down part of the deficit and should be back on schedule within two weeks:

$1s Entered	14427	17413	17511	98	3084	18959	93.4	17517	+5	-6

As for the goal of having series 2009 pass series 2003A in number of entries, I'm still way ahead and continue to push further ahead:

2009	1339	3266	3342	76	2003		Actual	73	1827

And for my goal of decreasing San Francisco "L" FRB entries below 50.0% while increasing Boston "A", Cleveland "D", St Louis "H", Philadelphia "C", Minneapolis "I", and Kansas City "J", there's nothing new to report (and likely won't be for a few months). I'm still inserting bills at a good clip. This one won't get interesting until that stops.

All around it was an OK week. Getting hits in 10 different States made this week feel better than the numbers show. In the end, how the week feels is more important than what the numbers say.
