Hit 10,000 flight hours on Tuesday and it hit me different

I was doing a post-flight inspection on a 737 in Denver when my logbook hit exactly 10,000 hours. That number surprised me because I started as a line mechanic in 2008 and never thought I'd see that many hours of work. Anyone else hit a milestone that made you stop and think about how long you've been doing this?

That 8k moment in the break room really puts it all into perspective.

That's a huge number. Hit 8k last year and just sat in the break room for a minute staring at the wall. Made me realize how many early mornings and late nights got me there.
