Thanks! I’m now working in a new role where there is no more ridiculous pressure or wild expectations and have been able to commit to working on a degree (because I fucked up the first one).
Work shouldn’t leave you panicking on a monday morning or crying into your lunch.
My old boss gave me a load of shit for writing down tasks that I had to do. He just couldn’t comprehend that it wouldn’t stick if it wasn’t written down.
He took my book from me, and then asked me to do a bunch of complicated stuff each with its own deadline.
He then got annoyed when I didn’t do the stuff because I hadn’t written it down because he took my book.
He got sacked, I got promoted.
Same, but I’m in Scotland. I was out shovelling snow in a vest and leggings and my neighbour who was dressed for an arctic expedition was horrified.
I’m just built for a different climate.
Snap on asthma/heart/immune triad.
COVID sucked way more than I thought it would, people just don’t understand that some folks genuinelys till struggle with it. Hope you and pup feel better soon
My apprenticeship is 4 years long and I work 36 hours a week, then need to do the learning and academic work which is around an additional 35 hours a week.
I’m just rolling into year 4 and I’m pretty tired now.
I’m also the only one left, everyone else who started in my cohort has dropped out because of the workload.
When you have 17 planners with 8 pages written in and constant sense of panic over a workload that is never done it’s def beyond the “lol I can’t pay attention sometimes too” crowd. Some people just don’t know what it’s actually like to be neurospicy.
During the Reddit protest I got a professional certification. It’s amazing what you can do when you’re not doomscrolling…
Totally agree… This person does a shit load of work building and maintaining an app, they sure as hell should get paid for it.
I’m autism diagnosed as an adult, but as the years pass I wonder if that’s really the issue or if it’s more likely to be ADHD.
There seems to be many overlapping features and mine are around poor social skills, feelings of being overwhelmed when plans change and long spells if decompression needed after doing almost anything.
I have high levels of empathy and have been a people leader for many years (highly rated) and I’m just not sure that autism is the right “sticker”.
I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.
He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.
This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.
Noped right out of there and bought German.
