Hmmm still young so my "highlights" are pretty mundane, but, I will say the first time I got to record a really talented group of musicians, when I had started to not suck so hard as an engineer, was inspiring. I hadn't heard any of the music before they came in, set everything up, got sounds on everything, and then as I was getting one last thing ready heard them start to run the first song and get their headphone mixes. And I was like "holy crap! they can play! it sounds like a record!" They tracked the whole record, vocals and all, live to tape, over two days. There are some things now about those sounds that I'd be a little embarassed about today, but that first time where it actually came together when I hit record; where I wasn't let down by my skills or the musicians, was a huge confidence builder. "Yeah, I can actually do this"
