Just realized I've poured over 1000 tons of metal in my career. That number kinda blew my mind.

I was filling out some paperwork for a safety award and had to add up my production hours. Did the rough math on average pour weights from the old brass fittings job in Toledo to the current steel castings run. Hit that four-digit tonnage mark without even noticing. It's wild to think about all that molten stuff, from tiny ingots to those massive gear blanks we did for the mill. Makes you think about the scale of this work over the years. Anyone else ever stop and calculate their lifetime tonnage? What did you get?

Kinda blew my mind" is a bit much. It's just metal, man. We all move a lot of stuff in our jobs.
