Hit 500 panel installs this month, didnt expect that number to matter

Been doing residential alarm work for about 7 years now, mostly in the Dayton area. This month I finished panel number 500, which I only realized because I keep a simple count in my work notebook. When I saw that number, it hit me different than I thought it would. 500 homes where I was the last set of hands before the system went live. That means 500 basements, 500 attic runs, 500 times I explained the keypad to someone who just wanted to feel safe. It made me think about all the little fixes I do now without thinking, like how I pre-drill every corner bracket after learning that lesson the hard way on job 87. I guess my question is, does anyone else track their install count or is that just a weird habit of mine? And for those who have a number, did it ever surprise you how much it meant when you hit it?
