Hit my 500th board repair last Friday without even noticing

I was logging a simple PSU fix into my spreadsheet and realized the counter rolled over to 500. That number surprised me because I started this side gig just to cover my own hobby habit, not 500 people's broken stuff. Has anyone else lost track of their numbers like that?

I heard about a guy in the UK who fixed VCRs for years and only realized how many he'd done when his local shop closed down. That sneaky feeling of the number piling up seems like a common thing for folks who just enjoy the work. Did you ever make a bet with yourself about hitting a certain number?

That 500 number creeping up on you sounds like when I read about a repair guy who didn't realize he'd fixed over a thousand consoles until his wife pointed it out. Ever feel like the numbers just sneak up on you like that?

Did he have a running tally or just zone out completely?
