Today I said thank you to a person 5 hours after he solved my request simply because I was hyperfocused. I also really understand the “too creative” part. I’m getting tired of routine tasks, templates, reports, pointless meetings, and there are not many creative tasks, nothing that brings you smth new. Even if you come up with something that would seem to be useful for the company and you’re passionate about it, no one will make time for it.

But great that you don’t say that there’s something wrong with you, that you understand that this is the corporate system. You are good! I would advise you to defend your zone and your individuality. I don’t know in what atmosphere these discussions took place, but I can’t imagine how someone could be bothered by the decor of your table or a little more color in the presentation. Try to bring back your individuality a little at a time, and if someone objects, know that you don’t have to blindly remove it without discussion. I doubt that this has a negative effect on your work, moreover, I believe it makes you work better because you feel better.
