Trying something new today. Trying to write a blog entry during a sprint on Discord. I mean it’s a totally valid thing to do. I’m not claiming any sort of radical discovery or anything. It’s just not something I’ve done before. Most of the time when I update here it’s because I am at the computer and onli—
Ok you would think I would update a whole lot more because that’s like my default state. Most of the time when I update it’s because I had a flash of my level of brilliance (low watt) that I absolutely felt I had to share with people.
Today it coincided with a sprint on a Discord server where I am a lot (No. I will not tell you) so I’m padding the wordcount because most of the time when I do a writing sprint I write three words, look up the fourth, get distracted by an ad in the sidebar and an hour later I’m researching what kinds of snakes can be fed a strictly vegetarian (or at least bug-based) diet.
Note: I have not actually done that research recently, so don’t ask me about it. I remember the topic but not the results. It’s just a funny example.
I think it might be safe to say that the Strattera is having some kind of effect. So far it hasn’t resulted in any removal of Doom Piles or anything, but I am somehow not as anxious about it. Although I suppose that could also be The Grim Acceptance Of The Doom of Doom Piles.
I think it could also be the two days of nice weather. It snowed today and was miserable but now that the sun is close to setting it looks like it’s clearing up. I’m still not going out there. It’s wet.
Anyhow, let’s swing all the way back around to the subject line.
Quick Recap: My job got sold to another company and we’ve recently started final separation, which means there’s a lot of multiple logins to things as data migrates in chunks. So we’ve been getting reminder emails to make sure everything’s set and ready for one chunk, and there are instructions on what to do to verify your stuff is ready, and steps to take if it’s not, but there is no option for “My stuff is ready/has already moved/I have nothing to move” so I keep getting these emails.
REMEMBER TO DO THE THING YOU DON’T NEED TO (OR POSSIBLY CAN’T) DO. WE WILL REMIND YOU TOMORROW ABOUT THE THING YOU CAN’T DO.
D’you know what? I would still rather have a hundred spam emails than even one pointless conversation. Deleting things is so much nicer. So much quieter.
“Remember not to do the thing you can’t do” is good though. That one I should remember.
Except I have to do the thing I can’t do. I think my next Adult Responsibility is income tax. I’ve been putting it off and putting it off because I don’t really feel like paying this government. On the other hand, if they owe me anything, I definitely want it back. It’s just that it takes math and a level of organization that I will never be able to achieve, no matter how many drugs and/or coffees I can get my hands on.
I’m doing pretty good otherwise though. I need a dentist appointment (one that isn’t an emergency) and an eye appointment (and the taxes, obvs), but I think that puts me on top of the Necessary Things until June. Then it’s time for property tax, homeowner insurance, and car insurance! YAY ADULT LIFE!
