Been using the wrong brush head for years without realizing it

I was over at a job in Portland last month and another sweeper pointed out my brush head was way too stiff for the clay flue I kept scratching up. Turns out I'd been using a wire brush meant for metal liners on everything since I started back in 2018. Has anyone else messed up something basic like that for too long?

Just say you’ve been self-employed, we all know that drill.

30 months of my life gone to "freelance consulting" and honestly it was still better than explaining every gap with some sad story. Nothing wrong with calling it what it is when the system punishes you for taking time off or trying something different. You gotta play the game sometimes.

Right?! I did that for three years and it's basically a free pass to skip the awkward gaps. Just say "freelance" and move on.
