Hit 500 panel terminations this week and my thumb is still twitching

I was counting up my jobs from the last 6 months and realized this morning I did exactly 500 terminations on residential panels. Most of em were on those 200 amp square D panels with the neutral bar on the left side. My thumb has this weird memory twitch now where it keeps trying to torque down a screw even when I'm holding my coffee cup. Anyone else get a phantom work motion after hitting a crazy number like that?

Is it really that serious? Sounds like your hand just needs a break, not a medical condition.

Wait... did you just say it's not a medical condition? Have you actually seen what happens to someone's hand when they've been typing for 12 hours straight with no break? I've watched a buddy of mine end up in a wrist brace for three months because he kept ignoring the numbness and pain. That's not just "needing a break" territory man, that's full on nerve damage waiting to happen.

Wait, hold on. @hannahk19 are you seriously saying that's just a break thing? That is absolutely a medical condition. Carpal tunnel is real, man.
