Hit 200 leather spines in one batch and my hands still hurt

I finally did a big run of 200 leather-bound spines for a customer order and I swear my fingers are still numb. The glue setup time was way shorter than I expected though, which caught me off guard. Anyone else get surprised by how fast you can push through a milestone like that?

My thumb went to sleep halfway through and I started drooling from the focus, but hey at least the glue held faster than my sanity.

Wait, are we really acting like 200 spines is some kind of marathon now? I mean, I get that your hands might be a little sore but numb and drooling sounds more like you forgot to eat lunch or something. The glue setting faster is just a bonus, not some crazy surprise. Pretty sure binders have been cranking out way more than that for decades without needing a nap afterwards. Maybe take a break and stretch your fingers between rounds, it's not a surgery.
