Vent: I finally hit 10,000 hours of breaking down whole animals and it hit me different

I logged my hours for the last 5 years just out of curiosity. Last month I crossed 10,000 hours of breaking down whole beef and pork carcasses. That number surprised me because it feels like just yesterday I was fumbling with a ribeye roll. But then I thought about all the cuts, the early mornings, the busted knives. It's kind of weird to see that big of a number attached to your own hands. Has anyone else tracked their time in the shop and been thrown off by the total?

Tracking my knife sharpening hours really put things in perspective like that @garcia.charles

And then you realize how many animals that actually is and it kinda messes with your head.
