I’m here. I think.
This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.
Had to medicate a kitten with a pill. This was accomplished after two tries. The vet was being rude about the medicine because they told me the wrong info about the other medicine so now I had to give her pills. But now she’s medicated. She hasn’t cared about any of it, because she is a cat with a little cat brain.
I love her.
My company introduced 3 days per week in the office next week (from previous 1 day per week). So I’m pretty much going to accept I can’t work there and just be more social and talk a lot. Normally I work in a role where I do cloud architecture and devops, but that requires thinking and focus, and office is the worst place for that. So I guess my company doesn’t want me to work like that anymore. :)
Trying to not feel annoyed by it, and seeing it as more of a chance to work less and do easy tasks. Guess it’s fine. Why should I care if they don’t. :)
I also work in IT and I’ve had decent experiences with wearing noise cancelling headphones. Not only blocks noise but also people are less likely to interrupt you while wearing headphones. I have a whole work playlist of to get me in a focused mood.
I’m quite old so I’ve done that before covid, very much.
I couldn’t focus anyway, always noise and people moving in my eye sight. Besides, it also feels super weird to sit next to people and not talk to them for hours.
So it’s not for me. I rather just not work so much on difficult stuff. Will just do easy stuff and talk to colleagues.
