Hurrah... good sense breaks out in the #NorthWest as the 'Waitrose of the North', Booths begins to get rid of self-service check-outs.
Given the price premium at Booths, we (the customers) want the social interaction with staff at the checkouts, not be told to 'scan & bag'!
More importantly, not only do checkouts provide regular local employment, they are also for many semi-isolated shoppers a key bit of rare social interaction... so a welcome reverse!
I read recently, mainly on Mastodon, about a form of writing therapy where you just write what's on your mind. Sod the grammar, sod the spelling,... just get it out.
My ADHD / ASC1 brain doesn't work that way. It spews things out in curated sentences after they've bounced around my brain for anything from microseconds to days.
Writing them down for no one to read won't work. Writing them down in a place actual people might read could be worse.
So what better than a Social Media account with a negligible audience?
It also feels true to my desire to be open with my mental health. If anyone does read, then maybe they'll relate and understand this shit better.
Who the fuck knows. Just the act of starting to write has scared away all the thoughts that have been plaguing me today. So maybe fuck all will come of it anyway. #MentalHealth#MH#ActuallyAutistic#WellAspergersReally#ADHD#Aspergers#ASD1#ASC1#Neurodivergent#FuckingArsehole#PointlessSelfTherapy
