Percentage of useful work

Depends on how you measure it, a significant portion of what I do has no use. Such as analyzing the cost of a project that might be canceled tomorrow, whipping my poor developers to work on a feature that nobody is going to use. 
That's not very efficient use of my time or my team's time. Yet I can't complain about it, because that's all part of the cost of doing business.
Having been in the real world for a while gives me a new perspective to accept this reality. Even the greatest person needs to spent a lot of time catering the wasteful bureaucratic politics, not to mention some average Joe like me.
