        running joke of ADHDers having squirrel brain (so here I am, having this conversation and OOH LOOK A SQUIRREL) .

        Today said squirrels appear to be on rollerskates.

      Not sure but I woke up with the WORST brain fog - like being hung over and sick. Really struggling with the jittery sads. (not ADHD but probably adjacent according to popular opinion). Some planet has gone retrograde.

    I’m feeling a lot better today so I’ve just been chilling at home and tinkering with some music. It’s nice to have a day to myself where I’m not trying to do anything or get things done like a regular day of leave.

    Yesterday I spent a bunch of time playing Echo Point Nova. It’s a must check out if you like your fast paced shooters like Doom Eternal or Ultrakill.

        I think you mean Cultic. I own it, just need to get in and play. It looks good. Boomer shooters are my thing, I grew up on the first two Quakes and Duke Nukem

    Friend I haven’t seen since January is working in Japan for six months. I don’t know if she would do the same for me, but I’ve wanted to visit Japan, and maybe see her along the way. Flights are not super cheap, but I’ve been researching all week to the point where Google Flights shows me a higher price because of all the browsing. I feel like I’ve hyped myself up for it.

    Went to my managers at work and they said they support my endeavour. As soon as uni is done, I will be on the grind for more cash.

    Apparently there was another $75 energy bill relief payment for October. That will help a tiny bit to mitigate the massive bill I’m expecting now that they’ve actually read my gas meter instead of estimating it.

    I don't think I want to work with people anymore.

    I work in retail (sometimes). It’s so odd how some customers think you’re really patient and kind, and others accuse you of treating them like shit. Yesterday I asked someone to do something that we have to ask customers to do, and I get called a bitch and that it’s all bullshit.

    I know people’s behaviour is just communication, and that I shouldn’t take it personally, but sometimes in the moment, I still feel my fight-flight-freeze response going. Body says danger.

    Was floating around the store today and the 15 year old girl at registers got really overwhelmed. A customer was on crutches and was waiting a while because the girl obviously couldn’t be in two places at once, and needed assistance. I walked past there and she was bawling her eyes out. I could’ve handled it so much better, by apologising to the customer first and helping them, and then seeing if the girl was okay. The customer was getting pissed and telling me that there should be more staff on, and that that girl didn’t know what she was doing. The girl knew what she was doing, but got really overwhelmed by that customer. She was justified in being angry, but taking it out on a 15 year old girl, come on.

    I went straight to the girl, and asked if she was okay, and then told that customer not to be rude to the girl. She’s 15 and trying her best. Then another customer came up from behind and said I should be more considerate to the injured person, and it’s not their fault if we don’t have enough staff. I kept telling her I understand, and she’s like no you don’t. Clearly you don’t know what’s in my head ma’am.

    I should’ve just said what’s going on and gauged the situation to de-escalate it, but I see someone crying and panicking, and feel like they should be tended to first. Going to try not to beat myself over this.

    Anyway, cheers 🍻

      You are such a beautiful person. I really don’t understand people sometimes. To customers who can’t be patient, tell your story walking cunt. It makes me angry who don’t understand a fair go.

      Something that helps me in this situation is thinking something along the lines of: wow these people are pretty messed up to be treating people like that, poor things, must have had a hard life. I pity them that they are how they are

      I would have done the same. The customer isn’t going to die because they had to wait an extra 10 mins

      A literal child is so upset she’s in tears.

      The customer can fucking wait or go elsewhere.

        Yeah, it’s not that deep! Sometimes things take longer than expected in life. Not saying that they should have to wait a super long time when it can be done faster, but no need to make a girl cry.

    I’m still waiting on Melbcat’s meds that were ordered in 🤞🙏 One is available but not the other

    Edit: And her food obviously was running out of stock because instead of the full amount I got some loose cans and a refund.

    Everything is so X rated on the DT today.

    We’ve gone from not naughty librarians, to dingers, to sex toys and lube and boobs… an ibis (if that’s what ducks are into these days it’s hard to keep up).

    There’s a rave choon for that

    I missed seeing the text yesterday that the meds came in! They’ve been obtained now, that’s a relief.

    The flowers seem to be starting to come up in the pots now. The blessing and the curse is there isn’t much for me to do there.

    It’d be great if either my area or health was better to feel comfortable going out more. I spend too much time on the internet which is tanking my mental health. Meetups aren’t the answer though. I feel like a lot of people there are using it to find dates, which isn’t something I’m interested in and creates uncomfortable situations.

    I miss my old barber so much. He moved and so I’ve had to find someone new. First replacement didn’t do a great job and the second replacement, while better, still isn’t it. Too long first time, now too short second time. My head is cold. At this stage I’m going to just grow my hair out indefinitely and look like a bum.
