Hit 500 cable terminations this month and actually kept count for once

I've been doing installs for about 8 years now and never bothered tracking numbers until a job last week where I had to log every drop for a commercial building in Austin. Turns out I averaged 12 terminations a day just on that site alone, and it made me realize how much my speed has changed without me even noticing. Has anyone else ever actually counted their daily numbers and been surprised by it?

Wonder what your failure rate looks like compared to when you first started out.

First time I counted my failure rate was eye-opening. Turns out about 10% of my early terminations were garbage, now it's more like 2%. Still find a random bad one every now and then though, keeps me humble.

Wait, 10% failure rate on early terminations? That's wild, I would've guessed way lower than that. Like I knew we all mess up sometimes but a whole tenth of them being bad sounds rough, man.
