Showerthought: a customer's broken radio changed how I see old gear
This guy brought in a 1978 Panasonic boombox, said 'it's not about the sound, it's about my dad's voice on a tape.' I'd been focused on fixing the power switch, but he made me realize we're saving memories, not just circuits. Anyone else have a job that turned into something more personal?

Totally get that. Makes the work feel way more important.

It reminds me of when my kid's school project suddenly clicked for him. That shift in purpose changes everything.
