I just billed my 10,000th hour as a licensed electrician

I was updating my work log for a big panel upgrade in Tacoma and the total hit that exact number. It hit me that I've spent over a decade in crawl spaces, attics, and breaker rooms making things safe. Do you ever stop and think about your total hours in the trade?

Ten thousand hours? That's a whole lot of time spent around live wires. Do you ever get a weird chill thinking about all the things that could have gone wrong but didn't? I guess that's what makes a real pro.

Yeah, that "weird chill" is just my body remembering all the close calls. I'm basically a pro at almost getting fried.
