Appreciation post: I just hit 500 brake bleeds on my own workbench

I was cleaning my tools last night and decided to count the marks on my bench leg (you know, the ones you make when you finish a job). I started doing this three years ago after my first real shop job fell through. The number hit 500, which is a lot of sticky hands and careful fluid checks. Has anyone else kept a simple count like this, and did it change how you see your own progress?
