we’re so back. anyways as you can tell by the other pinned post, we’ve been a little busy with a lot of stuff on the backend and that’s probably going to continue into the foreseeable future
I understand healing is not a linear process, but some days just feel so hard. I’ve been exercising very regularly(dropped 15kg), going to therapy, engaging with other people, but any amount of effort still feels Herculean. It was pointed out to me that low testosterone levels could cause some of these symptoms so I guess I’ll get that checked next. But yeah, my week has been difficult…too many losses in a very short time span…
in a tragic moment one of my friends has inexplicably nuked all of their contacts with my friend group for the 3rd time in a year and a half so lol, guess i’m just not gonna talk to that person again since i do not have the patience to try and sort their shit out again
Yesterday was my birthday!
It was a nice and easy going day spend with my family. Topped it off with going out for a nice dinner.
I enjoyed it, nothing fancy but just the way I like it :)
Yesterday was very productive and then I got to spend the evening gaming with friends, so that was nice! Today I have jury duty, and potentially for most of the rest of the week… It’s fine, but my fingers are still crossed that I end up getting dismissed and can go back to my sorely neglected research tasks!
Pretty stressy this week. I’ve been working 2 jobs until my startup gets off the ground and we have to rebuild our bathroom and my cats had to go to the vet and my brother’s wedding is next month and my adhd makes it very hard to not feel like all that stuff is happening at once.
But that’s been going on for a while now, so hopefully i’ll get used to it.
I am studying for an online degree and since past 4-5 days my laptop has been acting up. I reset my pc, but it’s still behaving weird sometimes, but not so much as before. So I am feeling a bit better now. I was very stressed out because of this.
If you run Windows, if you want, try to run sfc /scannow in an admin command line, it scans system files and repairs any corrupt ones, sometimes it helps sometimes not but imo it’s worth a try.
Little hectic, I moved and changed jobs and still I had to “visit” my parents sometimes to get my stuff and dealing with paperwork. But it will get better I will probably have everything done today.
One month on CPAP. I hate the thing and it hasn’t improved my sleep. I made a recording using Sleep As Android and I’m still snoring a bit. I am waiting to get an appointment with the actual specialist who ordered my sleep test and prescribed CPAP- I’ve never met him, and am not sure I ever would have met him if I hadn’t melted down a little when the ResMed drone said that my numbers are excellent and that “studies show” that most people adjust within six weeks. Well, I’m not a number, I’m a neurodivergent individual with individual needs and quoting study results at me does not help or reassure.
Honestly, pretty miserable. A “promotion” ended up docking my partner’s pay (the difference in what they were making got rolled into benefits) and now we went from being totally fine to things being tremendously tight basically overnight. It’s been hard finding work on my end and I’m just incredibly stressed. I’ll be alright though, I hope.
Cautiously optimistic. Weather is looking pleasant all week. I’ve managed to get my backlog at work down from about 6 months to 2, so that’s a lot less stress.
Prepping for a dirt bike race next month (hare scramble) and it’s been 4 years since I have; I’m super out of shape but it’ll be fun.
Stuck in the middle of a drama at work I would rather not know about; leadership fired a manager for apparently personal/favoritism reasons, and now their team left behind is upset - with good reason. As a manager myself, I was pretty shocked that the decision and action was taken in this way, so I am having to deal with the fallout since the staff in that department is coming into mine to seek support they feel they no longer have… I love my own team and what I do, but am starting to really question if I want to be part of a place that treats people like this. For all I know, my own neck could be on the chopping block too and I don’t know about it, any more than the manager they fired knew that was in store for them. Why are people such asshats sometimes, is beyond me.
I’ve been through that too, like all that vagueness around someone amazing being fired.
This probably doesn’t apply to your case in mine he seemed to get a little too familiar with the women, from the get go. I can imagine that instead of opening that up for the whole world to see they simply kept it vague. Of course most people were confused.
My point being that if you know you’re integral then you can feel safe again. You could always ask.
Thanks for the kind reply. At this point, being integral or not seems to mean little. This is the third time they have gotten rid of someone and brought in/promoted a “friend” instead. It’s like it’s becoming the personal playground for the person who fired them because it’s easier for her to hire in friends than actually develop some vision for our organization. I had an amazing year last year in terms of my own work, my team’s, and our deliverables, but so did the person she fired. If there is one constant in non-profits it’s that there is often a lack of accountability to otherwise normal hr standards, since all the power is held by one or two people at the most. I could take it to the board, if so inclined to advocate over this, but having been through this before at another place long ago, I know the outcome of that. It’s better to just move on.
