Hit 2,000 oil changes this week and it hit me different

I keep a log on my phone, just dates and mileage, nothing fancy. This Tuesday I did number 2,000 since I started at this shop outside Cleveland. That's a LOT of drain plugs and filter gaskets, but what surprised me is how many cars I remember by the sounds they make. The 2012 Focus with the rattly heat shield, the F-150 that grumbles on cold starts, I can hear them pulling in before I see the bay. It made me realize I've probably caught 100 plus leaks that would've killed engines if the owners waited. My hands are wrecked, sure, but that number felt bigger than just a milestone. Has anyone else hit a count like this and suddenly felt the weight of the work? How do you track your own numbers?

Did you ever count how many trashed engines you saved before you started keeping track?
