This is where I take the time to explain to everyone that "Yeah, while it may save you time to do it manually, if you do it THIS way instead, you never have to write it from scratch again, and your output goes waaay up".
Every job I've ever had, I always look at how my predecessors do the job, then automate the crap that I don't want to deal with. :/

It almost always saves time because inevitably you have to repeat work with parameters changed very slightly.
