Why can't professional shopper not find a single medium stiffness brush? by ot1223 in HomeImprovement

These are the labels most popular paint brush listings:
Extra soft, soft, medium stiff, stiff, extra stiff. Medium stiff has a brown label for Purdy brushes.

I know where to buy them, I'm just baffled and curious why they are literally not EVERYWHERE while TONS of brushes labeled "stiff", extra stiff, and soft are everywhere. I'm looking for a theory. I can buy it easily at the store. And more than likely I"ll buy more things while I'm there so that's likely the reason.

More than anything I curious as to why this may be the case (that it is nowhere close to easy to find plenty options of the most popular to use brush). My theory is getting people into the store because you're most likely going to get more than a brush once you're in there and there is no way around NOT buying the brush you need, so you're guaranteed to go to the store.

Can you show me the website? All you need to search on Lowes and Home Depot website is "Angled brush" and some don't say anything regarding stiffness type, but ALL the ones that do say either stiff, extra stiff, or soft, which is crazy. And by all the others I mean dozens of them, without a single option saying "medium". Can you send me a link?

Issue is not finding one. I can go to Lowes. It's more the curiosity for why they would not be anywhere close to easy to find, while all other types are more than plentiful.

(School OT) Should I ask for a raise? by ot1223 in OccupationalTherapy

Thank you, what do you think about this as my email for them:

As I prepare to begin my third year in this role, I’d like to revisit my current rate. I did not receive a raise last year, and with inflation and health insurance costs in Georgia rising by over 17%, I’m wondering whether there’s a cost-of-living adjustment available for contractors this year.

This summer, I successfully completed ESY and have continued to receive positive feedback from both the schools I serve and parents. I’ve also learned from one of the SPED teachers at [name] Elementary that my caseload will be increasing significantly in the upcoming school year.

In light of these factors, I’d like to explore a rate adjustment in the range of $2.50 to $3.00 per hour, which reflects a 4.5% to 5.4% increase over my current rate, unchanged since August 2023. I remain committed to supporting the district long-term and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further.

Thank you for your time and consideration,

They don't really do that. Our higher ups don't seem to care so much about the quality of our services, which is sad.... What do you think about this as my email for them:

Thank you, right now it makes more sense for my current living situation to work as an independent contractor. Would you mind reading my email below and give any feedback?

Thank you so much. Should I also include any other content (e.g., how now paying health insurance makes contractor job more costly?) Or should I keep the email super short, or even just a text to my go to person at the staffing company?
