Hit my 500th cover plate today, finally get the hype

I've been doing line work for 6 years and always rolled my eyes at folks bragging about hitting big plate numbers. Today I finished plate 500 during the dinner rush, and the weird part is it just felt different. The rhythm clicked, the temps were moving, and I didn't have to look at my station once. I used to think these milestones were just for showing off, but now I'm wondering if there's something real about muscle memory after that many reps. Has anyone else hit a number like this and suddenly understood what the veterans meant?

Did you ever have one of those days where your hands just knew where to go before your brain caught up? I had that happen chopping onions at home last Thanksgiving, of all places, and it made me laugh because my knife skills are nothing special. Guess the reps add up even when you are not paying attention.
