@cferdinandi Holy crap, the team lead who would deliberately destroy people's flow state?! I don't have enough WTF to express how WTFy that is. Also, 😡👊🏻🗡.
The other problem with open offices, at least for me, is that I'm very distracted by motion. Anyone walking through my field of vision is a thing that I have to evaluate to make sure it's not important somehow. (Probably trauma from childhood bullying.) Anyway, I hate open offices.
Someone said that what a neurodivergent views as CONTEXT,
a neurotypical will usually view as an excuse,
and when I tell y'all this hits me SO HARD 😫
"You're just not working hard enough"
"You're just not paying close enough attention"
"You're just lazy"
"You're just not very thoughtful"
"You're just not respectful of other people's time"
"You're just selfish"
"...SO STOP MAKING EXCUSES!"
And all the while, I'm just trying to provide context on how I got from A to G
@nekohayo Polls are hard. I choose "It would be a serious issue for me" but I think it's a wording that's a bit stronger than I'd choose myself. More like "It would be a real issue for me".
What would happen is that I would constantly lose focus as that URL changed which would trigger me and I'd get angry and annoyed. 😣
@mattiasb Yeah, I think using the world "real" would have caused more confusion than "serious", as anything can be said to be "real" by someone who perceives something, while "serious" is meant to clearly differentiate between an annoyance (still "real") vs something that "disrupts with consequences" levels of severity. i.e. Would it be considered harmful, or annoying, or not at all.
The characters (& choices) limit in polls makes it a bit hard to write things, but I think it's pretty balanced.
I need to finish putting together tomorrow’s show. I’ve already got it 75% in place, just need to find the last few tracks and put them in order. Easy.
But I can’t muster up the mental energy to do it, because I know that I have all day tomorrow. I love doing the show, I just can’t convince my brane of that.
So rather than do it tonight and have the whole day to whatever tomorrow, I’ll spend this evening worrying that I haven’t done it yet.
I am doing a survey about yoga and neurodivergent folk and your boosts would be appreciated.
If you are neurodivergent (self-realized or Dx'd, it's all good here), and fall under the vast ND umbrella, I'd love to hear from you. Quick 6-7 question survey and you can remain anon if you want.
This morning I (almost) invisibly mended hole in my stretch leggings
Just sewed a headband (out of a scuba material!! It's v stretchy and slippy and goes through an Overlocker like silk !? ) and made some Rock Cakes (currently in the oven).
This morning I prepped some French bread (currently proving), and now planning dinner..
Yesterday I struggled all day to watch a 15 min instructional video on youtube
My husband is presenting in an all-day #ADHD virtual conference with other experts in the field, including Dr. Edward Hallowell, for an #ADD/ADHD audience.
He put his slide deck on #Google Slides as required. Then technical glitches occurred (slides weren’t fully loading) during the test run. The IT person asked him if he was on a Mac (he is). According to the IT person, they have trouble with Mac users being able to run slideshows when there are multiple presenters.
@nflamel Right? It just hits on SO MANY THINGS in a scant 6 minutes.
Disappointment from authority figures. Comments from peers. Internalized feelings of failure. Finding your place of belonging and that thing you're good at. Meeting people who "get" you and accept you as you are.
I fucking love Bluey, but this episode is just one of the best, hands down.
So I don’t go on LinkedIn a lot. But I happened to be on there recently and saw a thing in my inbox. My friend’s son, who’d done my website, had sent a request for a recommendation. I wrote something immediately. (I get things done!) Got this back.
