Hit 500 furnace jobs last month and it snuck up on me

I was flipping through my job binder from last year and decided to count how many furnace installs and repairs I've done since I started on my own. Came out to 502 total as of November. That number surprised me because I don't feel like I've been at it that long, maybe 6 years. It matters because I remember struggling through my first 20 or so and second-guessing every hookup. Anyone else keep a rough count of jobs over the years or just me?

Hearing @garcia.charles mention that first 30 struggle really hits home... that feeling never quite leaves you.

Stole a glance at my own binder the other day and definitely choked on my coffee when I saw I was pushing 400. First 30 or so I was googling everything mid-install, sweating bullets hoping the pilot would actually light. Now I'm just hoping I don't forget to turn the gas off before breaking the line one of these days.
