TIL I hit 10,000 hours of pressure washing without even noticing

I was just adding up my jobs from the last 5 years and realized I passed 10,000 hours behind the wand. I mean, it's weird how a milestone like that sneaks up on you when you're just focused on the next driveway. Has anyone else realized they hit a big number in their work or hobby without planning it?

Calling this a milestone feels weird. 10,000 hours just means you spent 416 full days staring at nothing but dirty concrete and soap. That's not exactly something to brag about, it's a reality check on how much life you've traded for a pressure washer wand. I get that you're proud of the grind, but maybe step back and ask if those hours could've been spent on literally anything else. It's just water and dirt at the end of the day.

Wouldn't any hobby feel pointless if you break it down to just the physical act?

Reality check" feels harsh, I mean every hobby is kinda pointless if you strip away what it does for your headspace.
