Just did the math on how many eggs I've cracked in 10 years
I was cleaning out my old kitchen notebooks and decided to add up the egg orders from my first restaurant job to now. The total came out to over 300,000 eggs. That's a stupid number. It hit me that I've probably spent more time cracking eggs than sleeping in the last decade. It's not a glamorous skill, but that muscle memory is now so deep I can do it one-handed while plating three other things. Who else has a weirdly high count on a basic task that just became part of you?

Honestly, that's just the job. You could do the same math on how many onions you've diced or how many plates you've run. It's a big number, sure, but it's just the repetition of the work, not some special thing.
