Can we talk about hitting 1000 service calls on the same panel schedule book?

I opened my old leather-bound schedule book this morning and the first entry was from a 200 amp service upgrade back in 2017 on Maple Street, and now I've got call number 1009 written for a trim-out at the same house, and it made me wonder how many times we circle back to the same circuits without even realizing it.

Nah man you're overthinking it, that's just the job repeating itself.

Heard a podcast a few days ago that basically said the same thing, how our brains trick us into thinking the same patterns are brand new. The host was a psychologist and she talked about something called "routine blindness" or whatever. Apparently it happens when your brain gets so used to the daily grind that it stops actually processing small differences. Makes sense though, I catch myself zoning out during meetings and then realizing I've heard the exact same complaints before.
